Studio Workshop

Today I ran my first workshop of 2010. 4 photographers joined me in my studio to have a crack at some still life set-ups. It's a bit of a departure from my usual work but we had some fun playing with the various 'props' and putting our (limited!) flower arranging skills to the test.
One of the attendees, Jane, brought these peacock feathers along and I think they look great with the blue gels on the background.


Here are the same feathers but shooting into the softbox. It gives a dreamy, almost monochrome feel.

A couple of different gels, a tulip and some hyacinths for another set-up. Flowers today were supplied by Valerie Butcher.

Some nice daffs shot against the grey background. We used this set-up with some green gels on the background but I like this simple grey shot.

Thanks for an enjoyable day everyone. The next workshops are in March, details on the main website.
