We'll be using continuous light to create fine art beauty portraits. The emphasis will be on three dimensional light, in a two dimensional photograph. We will work with Chloe to create looks that go deeper than I've achieved so far in my work. These are exciting times and I feel as though I'm on a roll, guided by a rare intuition. I'd love you to join me. I'll be sharing all the secrets of my lighting strategies without the 'noise' of flash technology clouding the image. The workshop title is <a href="http://www.lovegroveconsulting.com/fashion_fusion.aspx" rel="nofollow">fashion fusion</a> Sorry Just Sold Out. Keep an eye on the Lovegrove website for a 3 day event at Maunsel with guest photographers Jo De-Banzie, Tamara Peel and myself. It will feature Chloe once more and a lot more besides. Damien.

It was fun, discovered Arri lights, gained new ideas on so many levels and learn't loads. And it was also a pleasure to meet the other delegates on the workshop too!

It can be icing on the cake and add interest. Damian's shots *ARE* very good by themselves anyway it's true, but variety is the spice of life. ;-) @Phil Personally I just love the Canon 16-35 f/2.8 II. It exactly suits the way I see the world and lets me create some really great images: http://www.gallery.photoglow.co.uk/wedding_portfolio/ In the end it's about how *you* see the world. The 100mm macro is a great lens. Personally, I see (and want to show) a much wider view. :-) @Damian. Thanks for sharing your vision and passion for images again. The course was really fun & informative and I've come away with a lot of great ideas of how to really add the polish to images that you taught. :-) @Michaelbs I like the occasional styled shot.

Packed with diverse inspiration... (and a crazy model). The follow up day with Marko was well worth doing, getting great results from the shoot. Your post here also provides a very useful reference with ideas on composition & processing. Developing my Wedding photography, I’m a little at odds as to whether my Canon 16-35mm lens was a wise spend earlier this week, considering I could have the 100mm macro (good reports) plus some continuous Arri lighting for the same price! For general weddings, do you think that my 24-105 is sufficiently wide? or would the 16mm capability be ultimately adding value. Being the Mk II has the motivation for selling yours been addressed ? My other lens, the 70-200 is fabulous. (it’s not too late to send this lens back...) Many Thanks, Phil Hello Damien,

I hear you. I agree with you on the 'look' front. I'm sort of experimenting at the moment. I had all the pictures edited without any 'looks' or actions and then ran the set through a series of actions to see what resulted. I then chose one look for each shortlisted shot to blog. The un affected images would certainly look best in print, that's for sure. Kindest regards, Damien. Hi Michael,

To me it's the wrong path for a classic master like you. Sorry. You are such a briliant photographer you don’t need the action heavy look. To me it’s the wrong path for a classic master like you.
