Sunday saw us hosting an Art Nude workshop at Pavilion Studio in Blackburn run by our friend Barrie Spence. We had 8 delegates with 2 models, Lara and Fredau. Split into 2 groups of 4 each with a model and either Faye or myself and each with an assistant, Barrie and Fiona. The day ran smoothly and was a great success judging from the emails received today. Faye worked upstairs in one of the rooms using simple daylight while I stayed in Barrie’s well appointed studio working with a variety of lighting modifiers ranging from simple soft box, through Fresnel spotlights and a proper grown up BOWENS ring flash which delegates found gave amazing results as they drew inspiration from our White Nude Series.
Faye has processed several of her selected images and we have pleasure in sharing them with you. More to follow. I received this email from one of the delegates this morning:
Hi Trevor and Faye,
I have just arrived home in West Cumbria after today’s most excellent workshop. Thank you – actually a very big thank you.
I couldn’t wait to download and quickly preview the images I took with you earlier. I knew it as soon as the shutter clicked – but I have had it confirmed here in front of me on the Mac – the quality of imagery is greater than I dreamt I could create. Your selection of models and your supportive coaching are superb and of the highest order. Of the workshops I have spent with you I always return with real quality photographs to put into my portfolio. You are both masters of your craft – thank you for sharing that.
I’ll be back for more!
Kind regards
Arthur
