CLASSIC PORTRAIT WORKSHOP
Delighted to announce that we are hosting a small, 4 delegates max, workshop here at Claremont on Studio Lighting and Posing for classic portraiture. Sunday 28th of February 10.00am – 4.00pm. We will work in the studio with a couple of different models, have a discussion on portraiture, look at what different lighting modifiers can achieve, have a nice relaxing lunch and spend the last hour of the day watching Faye do some post production work on one of the images from the day. £295 inclusive.
Today’s image is from our lighting workshop at the Convention. One softbox….. that’s all folks! Post Production and hair styling by Faye.
FAYE’S MAGIC
Today we have an image taken by Faye during our lighting workshop at the SWPP Convention. Christiane is actually standing on some bench seats in the Planet Bar area of the hotel and simply leaning back into the blue wall. The image was lit by a Bowens head fitted with a Bowens fresnel spotlight and despite Faye’s ongoing eye problem she has done a remarkable job of post production. I should perhaps mention that Faye also created Christiane’s wonderful hairstyle.
IMAGES FROM THE CONVENTION
As I promised yesterday here are the first few images from our Shoot in the City Super class last Sunday. Faye has worked her magic, despite the problems with her eye, and hopefully we will have more from this and our Portrait workshop tomorrow after Faye’s hospital appointment.
WORKSHOP
As I announced yesterday I have managed to persuade Faye to do a one day workshop on how we post process our images. The date for this is Sunday the 7th of March, 10.00am – 5.00pm, the fee is £250 and includes refreshments and lunch and restricted to only 4 delegates. So first come first served.
The image was taken by Faye earlier this year and shows the before and after so if you want to know how it was done, the actions we use etc. then drop me an email for a place. trevor@yerburyseminars.com
PHOTOSHOP WORKSHOP WITH FAYE
Many delegates asked this year if Faye would consider doing a day workshop just on PS, the actions we use and how she processes our images including how to use the liquify tool. Well after some persuasion she has agreed to do one to start with here at Claremont for 4 delegates only. If interested drop me an email.
PASSION @ LOXLEY’S
A final image to end the week from Monday’s workshop at Loxleys, a bit of Sex, Lust & Passion, what weddings are all about but all in the best possible taste. Oh and I forgot to say photographed in Loxley’s reception area.
WEDDING WORKSHOP LOXLEY’S
As promised the first 2 images from Monday’s workshop @ Loxley’s. Many thanks to all of the delegates who have sent such very kind words.
MONDAY @ LOXLEY’S
Today we are just putting together our final presentation for Monday’s Wedding Workshop at Loxley’s in Glasgow.
Our trip to Tuscany seems almost a lifetime away now and with wind and rain lashing the office windows our thoughts travel back to those 6 wonderful days in the sun and one thing that always makes any workshop truly worthwhile are the emails that we receive afterward’s and today I am posting one of those today.
Dear Faye and Trevor,
As I sit here typing this, I can’t believe that our Tuscan adventure
has been and gone. But, oh, what an adventure it was.
The deciding factor in our extravagance of coming on the courses was
your involvement. Cleverer and wiser people than me will have
showered you with compliments but Cliff and I were so excited (and
more than a little nervous) at the thought of receiving instruction
from you both. However, our insecurities disappeared as soon as we
met you.
It was an amazing experience and I am still pinching myself at our
good fortune. I’m completely hooked on the fine-art nude and you have
helped us to find a direction for our photography. You have inspired
us, not only with your great ability and success but, on a human note,
by your humour, generosity and grace.
So, we thank you both. We have grown as photographers and as a couple
working together by being taught by you.
Take care.
Alison and Cliff
FINAL BOUDOIR SCHOOL FOR 09
Sunday saw our last Boudoir School for 2009 but we start again with a new programme on the 2nd of February 2010 @ Maunsel House, North Somerset. Our model for the day was the wonderful Aicha, some of you may have seen her recently on the blog as she was our model at Loxley’s a couple of weeks ago. Aicha is an ideal subject for Boudoir as she did a session with us a couple of years ago and gave the book to Grant, her husband , on their wedding night and we were in the room to get his reaction thus making Aicha the perfect client to tell delegates how much of an impact such a personal gift can be for a groom to receive. We had a great day and spent some time exploring a more 1930’s Hollywood style Boudoir using the Bowens Fresnel spotlight. News on a couple of exciting Limited Edition products we will soon have available just in time for Christmas.
Today’s image of Aicha was the one we selected to work on in front of yesterday’s delegates. Shot with the D300 @ f2.8 and just using the modeling light of the Bowens Fresnel spotlight. Faye has post processed this beautifully in PS using a combination of the Kubota DASHBOARD and TotallyRad actions. Tomorrow we will post another image from Sunday’s workshop where we will show a ‘before and after’.
LAURA ANNA IN TUSCANY
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.
