6. 'Sea Foam' paint better known as Wickes Aqua matt emulsion.

7. It helps to shoot continuous with light when using pattern modifiers like a Venetian blind. What you see is what you get. I used a fabulous Lupo 800 Fresnel spotlight for this series of shots.

Chloe Jasmine Whichello, wow what a name
Your magical presence fills every frame
Your beauty is a wonder for all to behold
With your pure loving heart and wonderful soul

9. This shot was taken into the light in a way that breaks all the rules.

10. Chloe and my bean bag - gorgeous.

12. Fabulous legs and shoes

The range of possible shots using a simple bean bag are numerous. I do love relaxed close ups taken with my 100mm macro lens. I just shot at f/2.8 using the modelling light in my Wafer 140 soft box.

14 This shot shouldn't exist. In extreme silhouette conditions with a Bowens Gemini Pro 750 on full power aimed towards the camera and beyond Chloe.

14. This shot shouldn't exist. I created extreme silhouette conditions using a Bowens Gemini Pro 750 on full power aimed towards the camera and beyond Chloe. Instead of the f/22 setting recorded on Chloe's back I shot at f/2.8 into the shadow. I teach delegates how to become a lighting alchemist in my studio sessions.

Baby oil, baby oil, I thought it would shine
Bring a lustre to Chloe to sparkle for all time
It has soaked into the walls lapped up by the paint
Now my Ice Storm 2 background is far from quaint

16. A one light shot in a white space needn't be boring.

17. A simple two light set up using just 18cm reflectors and honeycomb grids.

17. Another simple one light set up using just an 18cm reflector with a honeycomb grid.

18. A two light set up in the same spot.

18. A second light was added to the same set up. The shadows are dancing too.

19. Vogue, here we come. There will be no stopping Chloe.

20. Selective vision captures beauty without the complications of distracting detail. This was so simple to light and shoot. It's not what you look at that matters it's what you see and how you capture it.

21. Classic ring flash dark halo look. Lit with a Broncolor ringflash powered by aMobil pack

21. The classic ring flash dark halo look. Lit with a Broncolor ringflash powered by a Broncolor Mobil A2R pack. Luke has given the 'Sea Foam' paint a deeper more saturated tone for this shot.

The Broncolor Mobil kit is available at an amazing price right now with a whopping £1500 off the standard price. This limited offer is available while stocks last. Prices start from £1995 + VAT for a two head kit.

I’d love you to join me for a studio lighting workshop. A new date has just been added to our schedule. 22nd November. The details are here. You can also browse our range of upcoming photography training courses here.

Please feel free to comment on these pictures or your experience if you were a delegate.

Great images, love 9 and 13, simply beautiful.

Hi Damien. As usual perfect images. TIP: Try deep skin cleanser on the walls to get the baby oil off! You might be able to paint over the marks again then!

Keep inspiring us all :-]

Hello, Damien I was wondering what lighting stands and light booms you would recommend for lights which weigh over 4kg like the Bowens pro 1000/1500w lights?

Hi Suzie,
You are a star pupil. You have every box ticked for success. It’s such fun having you on my workshops. And yes, the baby oil came off the walls!
Best regards, Damien.

Hi Iona,

Haha, I managed the baby oil removal process with fairy liquid (kind to my hands apparently) on a sponge.

Thanks for your comments, Damien

Hi Chris the best all-round stand for big lights is the Lowell Grand Stand. It is fabulous and will last you a lifetime. It can be rigged on stairs or uneven ground too. Here is a link: http://www.lovegroveconsulting.com/lowel_grand_stand.aspx

Cheers, Damien.
