Great shots Damien, particularly like the first 2. Looking forward to hopefully replicating something like this on the Speedlite course on the 23rd

Loving those first 2 Damien, thanks for sharing the background and technique. You’ve given me the drive to take a model out for a shoot soon before the season starts in earnest and I’m too busy

cool stuff with those speedlights again Damien , nice first shoot with Lauren , expression is the key though, give her one of your look books for homework.

Thanks Chris and JP.

JP The single Speedlight in the first shot had the same Honl gobo as in shot 2 It made the light slightly softer but not by much. Cheers, Damien.

So many great images! The very first one, though, really makes me rethink the possibilities for direct flash. I wouldn’t have thought you could pull that look off without some sort of modifier.
Other than that, Lauren was obviously a great model and her hair! It looks like it was made to be electrified with light!
