I’ve been a bad blogger again! I have a good excuse this time – I’ve been very busy getting ready for wedding season and also hosted a workshop here at the studio for 19 photographers.

The No Limits: Portland Workshop was a 2 day intensive photography and retouching bootcamp for photographers to learn pin-up and glamour techniques.

Day one: Pin-Up.
First day’s activities were my domain – the lovely Pin-Ups! I had two awesome models join me, Mandy and Christine, and my usual make-up artist Hollie came along to work her magic. The day was split into two – the morning was given over to posing and lighting instruction, the afternoon was devoted to my full post-production techniques. For photographers reading this stay tuned – there will be more workshops in the future, and I’m also going to be adding a ‘For Photographers’ section to this site soon offering advice and products to help your photography.

Here are some shots of day one:

Day Two:

Andy Armstrong – a fantastic photography from Knoxville was in charge on day two. In the morning he instructed posing and lighting for relaxed glamour photography using both flash and available light. In the afternoon, he showed his full workflow and took questions about Photoshop and retouching in general, and demonstrated products from his Design|House range of tools for digital photographers, including the great new Destination Vegas pack.
