On Sunday 12th May 2013, I attended a one-day studio workshop which I helped to organise for the Digital Imaging Eastern Centre of the RPS.  The speaker was the renowned MaxOperandi (AKA Ian Parry); we had two lovely models for the day, Raffy and Amber with two separate studio setups so that the small group of photographers had plenty of time with each model.   One setup included a large white infinity screen for fine-art nude photography the other was configured as a portrait studio with a stool and various backdrops, my favourite being a speckled dark grey.  The equipment comprised several Bowen flash-heads, radio triggers and various lighting modifiers.

A one-day studio workshop covering all aspects of lighting, portrait and fine-art nude photography by Ian Parry (known as Max Operandi in the business) has been organized by the RPS Digital Imaging Eastern Centre.

Ian will go through lighting techniques using affordable equipment starting at the beginning.  There will be two studio setups and professional experienced models giving everybody who attends time to experiment with the photographic lighting setup and for each person to take some really excellent shots.

Zone-XI Photography places an advert in a newspaper in Grand Junction, Colorado to attract interest in the Spring Workshop “The Four Corners Adventure“.  The article features a monochrome image of Left-Mitten in Monument Valley, one of the venues we’ll photograph on the Workshop.
