Well its been a pretty quiet week on the blog, well silent actually, as we have been enjoying the warmth of an autumn Tuscan sun. We stayed at Castle Tornano in Chianti, a delightful area of Italy and I will post images of the castle and our beautiful bedroom tomorrow when I have had a chance to download our images. Images from our 3 workshops will come early next week and for those of you who were on the workshops and would like to see how we process the images shown drop me an email and I will let you have ‘the flow’.

We have an unexpected place just become available on the above workshop to be held here @ Claremont – West Lothian. If interested please email me @ trevor@yerburystudio.com

We will be in Tuscany next week as guest speakers of the Lovegroves giving 3 Art Nude workshops in the most beautiful  surroundings so I thought I would post this images from one of our own workshops a couple of weeks ago.

Well as promised the final processed images from Monday’s Lighting workshop held @ Loxley Colour in Glasgow.

We had wanted to get some exterior shots during the day but as usual the weather decided to be nasty and the rain just seemed to sweep over Glasgow and Loxley for most of the day. With one, almost dry, break in the weather I dragged Aicha and our delegates outside Loxleys and down to the the metal fencing that surrounds the building. Though it was light drizzle we did manage to get several shots again using the Quantum Turbo head to light Aicha and her striking yellow coat.

Back inside I wanted to show how to light a portrait with a single soft box using one of the wonderful new Bowens Gemini 500R heads. Faye has processed a colour and black and white version. Let us know your favourite.

And finally back to the Loxley red wall where we shot this image of Aicha using the Bowens Gemini 500R head fitted with the fab Bowens Fresnel spotlight.

Well as promised, and despite the work schedule, unexpected visitors and studio sessions here are a few more images from yesterdays fabulous Lighting Workshop held at Loxley Colour in Glasgow. All of these images were created within the Loxley building, my stair shot using the Quantum heads, Faye’s red wall taken in the Loxley meeting room using our favourite Bowens fresnel spot and finally my daylight shot taken at the window of the Loxley boardroom. A final couple of images tomorrow and then we move on.

First the Loxley meeting room.

Faye and I had a wonderful day in Loxley’s and though just back home and somewhat tired thought I would post a finished image from today.

Our delegates came from all over the UK and thanks to Chris Kay and Loxley’s for providing us with an excellent lunch. This image I took from the first floor of the Loxley Building and it was post processed by Faye during the afternoon session. More fabulous images tomorrow.

Dates coming very soon.

Faye and I are looking forward to our workshop on Monday at Loxley Colour – Glasgow. Must say we are surprised at the large response to this event and even more for the Fashion Wedding workshop also at Loxley’s on the 16th of November. Looks like we will be holding more in 2010.

More exciting news is that we are in final discussions with a national 4* hotel group to host a series of our popular SHOOT IN THE CITY workshops in 2010 around the UK. Dates and locations for the spring series will be announced next week. Each event will start in the hotel before going out on location returning to the hotel for lunch. Out again in the afternoon for more location shooting before returning the hotel for a welcoming coffee/tea and sticky buns while Faye does some post production on the images. These workshops will be very competitively priced and places will be VERY limited so early booking will be essential.

Limited places still available for this all day workshop in Edinburgh and don’t forget our Fashion Wedding Workshop @ Loxley Colour on Monday 16th November but only 2 places for this workshop still available.

Looks like our Lighting Workshop is now almost fully booked with only a couple of places remaining. The same is true of the Fashion Wedding workshop on the 16th November!
