Looks like we have one place left on our lighting workshop here at Claremont on the 28th of February so don’t delay in calling or emailing. We have 2 places still available for our Boudoir workshop here at Claremont on the 21st of March and 1 place for our final Boudoir workshop at Maunsel House in North Somerset. All workshops are limited to only 4 delegates except the Maunsel House workshop which is for 5. Our first Art Nude workshop for 2010, again here at Claremont and limited to 4 delegates has still one place available.

More exciting Art Nude workshops are in the pipeline although we will be hosting them abroad. Details when we have finalised though if you wish for priority notice then please email me; trevor@yerburystudio.com

Today’s image is from our final Art Nude workshop held here last October with the beautiful Christiane.

Due to Faye’s eye problem we have, with regret, postponed our visit to Copenhagen until August. Dates are below and for more information just drop me an email.

I must say that it took some courage from Laura to lie down on the edge of a very cold pool for these images. The ground was not very comfortable but that is not noticeable in Laura’s expression. I love this image with all of the pools reflections echoed over the body.

This set we used on all 3 of our workshops. I just loved the chair and Laura adopted my suggested pose with ease looking as if she owned the castle. Faye has done a beautiful crop of her image and again processed with Kubota and Totally Rad actions.

With many thanks to Chris Hanley for taking the images.

Once again more images of Laura from our wonderful trip to Italy.  We thank all our  delegates who have sent such amazing messages some of which I will post tomorrow.

This image of Faye’s was taken from a slightly different angle as my previous shot and shows how important it is to walk around and see what an alternative view can offer. Taken on the D300 24-70 @ 50th f2.8

Back again to the spiral staircase which we all used over the course of the week, which took you up to the roof terrace and spa. In fact there was very limited space to work in so it was elbows in and rotating delegates. Light came from a large reflector, gold side,  which I held at an angle to the window on my left while daylight flooded down from the open door at the top of the staircase. ISO 200 on Faye’s D300 @  50th f5.6. Both images processed in PS with Kubota and Totally Rad actions.

And finally one of my images, direct, simple but classic I feel. Shot on my D700 with the 85mm @ 1/320th @ f5.6. Memories of the warm Tuscan sun and some wonderful company.

There are certain times in ones life when many things conspire and they result in a moment, an hour, a day or a week that will remain embedded in your memory forever. For Faye and I our recent trip to Italy was most certainly one of those moments when many things came together, the romance of Tuscany, a beautiful castle set high in the hills, wonderful warm, sunny days, a beautiful model and most importantly people on the workshop who we know are now our lifelong friends. We did have a wonderful time and as I mentioned previously our model for the 3 one day workshops, Laura Ann, was quite a star and worked so well and patiently for us and our delegates. We ate in the castle for a couple of evenings and then headed out into the town of Radda for 3 excellent, memorable evenings of fun, laughter, food and wine with wonderful company. You all know who you are (.com)

Today we have the first of our images and more to follow over the course of this week.

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.

Here are the dates for the Copenhagen & Malta workshops for March and April. The Malta dates are provisional but will take place between the 16th and 21st April.
