Hi Mark,

Thanks for your kind words. I’m running a studio lighting workshop on Tuesday 8th December at my studio. It is limited to just 3 shooters so it will be the best event yet. Details are here.

I really hope you can make it. Regards, Damien.

Lovely to see what can be done with just one light a grey background and a few gels.

Would be interested in attending a studio session soon.

Damien,

Great work as always and great to see studio work for the winter. Having just opened a studio as we couldn’t always shoot lifestyle, this is a great inspiration.

Hi Douglas, I’m glad you enjoyed the workshop. I did too. As you say, sometimes the best shots are the simplest to take.

I look forward to spending a day with you shooting portraits on the streets soon.

Regards, Damien.

Hi Damien,

Just wanted to say thanks for a great day last Thursday. The images are fantastic, learned loads and really enjoyed it. Still can’t get over what you can do with a single light! I’ll definitely have to go on one of your street shooting courses now!

All the best,

Douglas

Hi All, Thanks for your kind words. I have put on a Studio Lighting workshop on Tuesday 8th December that will be limited to just 3 photographers and take place at my own studio. This will ensure we get the chance to shoot a lot of unique pictures and use a greater variety of backgrounds. We will have a pro model and make up artist at our disposal all day. In 2010 my studio workshops will be limited to 4 delegates and will be followed by an optional Marko Masterclass to edit the studio pictures. If you are interested in the 2010 events email Blaise here or call her on 01275 853204. And she will ensure you get first notice of new dates or she may even schedule the events around your diary, it has been known. Kind regards, Damien.

Hi Damien,

Loving the use of gels on the grey background (need to break out my gels and put them into some new studio shots I think) and also the use the plant in the shot with the cube. As always, your images are a good source of inspiration.

Thanks, Iain

Hi Damien, great demonstration of the grey background’s versatility. Oh and great shots too

I love the speedlight in the perspex cube technique, that really is thinking outside the box… or is it inside

Regards, Ian
