I'd be happy with both! Fabulous pics :o) Can’t decide if I like the strong colours in the graffiti shot more than the neutral tones in the final shot. I’d be happy with both! Fabulous pics :o )

We stuck to my basic principles of lighting and when it didn't exist we made it from scratch. Knowing what you are trying to achieve is the key to good portraiture. Some of our set ups were less successful and it it always important to 'give it a go'. With the right knowledge and practice you can shoot great pictures just about anywhere. Damien.

So many great tips on finding shots in places you wouldn't think possible. I have also put some images on my blog linked. Cant wait for the studio lighting workshop, and of course Tuscany! Cheers Neil Damien,

AWESOME! When should we expect the new book on portrait/location shooting? I'd like to be on the pre-order list! As usual…. AWESOME!

The deserted housing complex shot has particularly caught my eye. The subtle colour tones are great. I wouldn't have believed that was Bristol!! Can't wait for June 8th when I'm booked on this :) Cheers David Fantastic. The deserted housing complex shot has particularly caught my eye. The subtle colour tones are great.

Really interesting to see Marko's post processing and how he's brought the colours out. I've only edited a few so far but if anyone is interested in having a look they are at the website linked. Can't wait to get on another course. Scott Damien,

I love the models body position and the post processing just makes it special. Steve Great set of photos as usual, however the last one really stands out for me.

It's fun trying to reverse engineer your lighting on the shots you don't explain in detail. It's good to see a good ratio of beautiful naturally lit, fully flash lit, and combined ambient/flash shots in your work. A real inspiration. Regards Dave Excellent collection of shots, Damien.
