Now in theory it should not make a difference as I shoot in raw but it does. It's worth a try. A slight kick using Vibrance in Lightroom doesn't seem to screw up the skin tones like a saturation boost does :-) Damien. Stuart, One thing I’ve thought of is that I shoot in the sRGB colour space.

The only trouble is with flash you can't see what you've got till you've got it. Digital has made it easier with the instant Polaroid. Enjoy your Arris. Damien.

I think I might treat myself to some of these Arri lites, the fresnel spot looks fun to work with and better than using grids in my existing Elinchrom heads. regards Sean Thanks Damien for the excellent info on the Arri’s.

Take a look at this set of pictures taken with it: http://www.prophotonut.com/2008/08/30/fresnel-lensed-lights-retro-portraits/ Regards, Damien.

I am interested in trying out some continuous lighting (rather than flash) and I wondered how versatile the Arri lights were. regards Sean Hi Damien

I use auto white and shoot in raw. Marko edits the files in Lightroom and Photoshop at the same rate Julie and I shot them. They were good straight from the camera and only subtle tweaks were needed in post production. Thanks for the kind words. I use auto white and shoot in raw.

I can't wait for the next DVDs and think I'll try and book up for a computer workshop with Marco - he's fab! Smiles Jennie Hi Damien,

Great inspiration and great to see the most recent images etc. The one thing that really impresses me is the richness of colour and the skin tones are spot on. The images just lift off the page and something I would love to be able to achieve. Do you use a white balance card or similar? Do you shoot in AWB and correct afterwards? Also was a pleasure to meet you at the Photovision road show in Manchester. Great to see you have a blog now having visited your other sites for some time now.

When you shot this was the Camera WB set to auto and the colour tweaked in post production? Nice idea of the rings on the mag which I've noted :) I love the warmth of the Arri.
