Lighting is so important but it's best to get it right and sorted then you can get on with the posing etc. It all needs to come together in harmony. Kind regards, Damien. Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your kind words. Lighting is so important but it’s best to get it right and sorted then you can get on with the posing etc. It all needs to come together in harmony.

Kind regards,

Damien.

Stunning images and great control of the lighting. Its amazing how sometimes how you can become so focused on the 'pose' that you forget the importance of the lighting to finish the shot and give it that extra dimension. Inspirational !!

I don't use backdrops as such other than paper rolls. These can be bought from Calumet or Morco. Do a Google search if you want a mottled painted background. I suggest you will need a <a href="http://www.lovegroveconsulting.com/ezybox.aspx" rel="nofollow">Lastolite Ezybox Hotshoe</a> 60cm for your Speedlight in the first instance. I'm not expecting to do a studio lighting workshop with Speedlights as there are cheaper, more powerful and more versatile studio lights available. Speedlights are not a great tool for studio shooting, you can certainly get by with them but most studio shooters opt for bigger mains operated studio flash heads. Irrespective of what flash lighting kit you use the principles of how to light in a studio stay the same. I suggest you join me on a <a href="http://www.lovegroveconsulting.com/studio_lighting_.aspx" rel="nofollow">studio lighting workshop</a>. I will include Speedlights integrated with large flash at some point in the day. All the details you need are <a href="http://www.lovegroveconsulting.com/studio_lighting_.aspx" rel="nofollow">here.</a> Regards, Damien. Hi Portia,

It was well worth the money, thanks. I wonder if you could give me some advice re a way forward in developing some indoor portrait set ups with a plain backdrop. I currently have 1 speedlight and would like to purchase a portable backdrop to be able to take portraits indoors without distractions. Which would be the best/most cost effective backdrop to buy. Also what are the pros and cons of getting more speedlights or some studio lights for these set ups? I read somewhere on your site that you were considering running a speedlight studio portraits workshop - are there any dates for this yet and what would it involve? Thanks Portia Hello Damien,

Luke will make it live and available for booking in the New Year after the break. The distant date is because all my available workshop dates are taken before then and my diary is full. If the Nikon Pocket Wizards don't arrive in January as expected then I'll be releasing other diary dates for Studio Lighting Workshops. I'll offer transfer places to those that booked on the April date in the first instance if they want to bring their booking forward and then I'll put the remaining places online. Kindest regards, Damien. Hi Neil,
