Hi Hamish. Thanks for your compliments. I used a Wafer 140, a Triflector and a grid on a 7″ reflector. Cheers, Damien.

Hi Damien,

This work is fantastic, Can you tell me what light shaping tools you used for the images with the yellow background?

Thanks,
Hamish

Hi Alex,

Thank you Alex. Upstage lighting is from beyond the subject. It refers to the fact that a stage slopes down to the front towards the audience.

Hi Alejandro,

Sorry for the late reply. I’ve been in the Maldives on holiday. I principally use HMI for daylight shooting interiors. I shot the Alice in Wonderland shots on the Fashion Fusion workshop with my 400w HMI – do you remember? It was bounced and very bright. My Lupos hadn’t arrived by then. You will never regret buying the Arris. I’ll be shooting my Lupos for a while over the next few months so keep an eye out for pictures I’ve taken with them.

Kindest regards,

Damien

Hi Terrence,

I’ll be back in the States soon, 2011 for sure. I have a DVD of studio lighting in the pipeline too. It’s great to hear from you and I have fond memories of our shoot together. If you might come over then this is the workshop to aim for. It will be electric!

Kindest regards,

Damien.

Hi Andy,

Theres a 500w halogen light on my neighbours garage lighting his drive. Not great for photography though I hope your shoots went well. Lighting is all about control. Control the position and direction of the light. Then control the spill and shape using barn doors. The the quantity and colour etc.

Regards,

Damien.

Hi Jonathon,

I’d split the ratios differently to include makeup, clothes, hair and location. But yes we make a great team. I’m loving working with Chloe.

Regards, Damien.

I must add that shots from workshop are inspiring and i believe you could use them in portfolio without a doubt – top class work!

May i ask you to tell us more about “upstage” lighting technique?

Cheers,
Alex

Now I know I missed an opportunity complete a perfect trilogy of workshops!!

Although I agree with you Damien that #24 is amazing, my absolute favorite out of this pack is #17, Chloe looks breathtaking.

Now, as I’m in the market shopping for lights, what would be the main difference between the Arri’s and the Lupo’s Lights?. Cost wise they are not that different.

Thanks

AMC
