On track with fashion photography



Signalling a new course

£195.00 Fashion workshop

Decades of experience photographing at the highest level is paramount for successful fashion photography. In line with this (sorry for the pun) photography workshops have designed a workshop in fashion photography in conjunction with a local railway incorporating rolling stock, Railway lines, signal box and historic platform to provide one-on-one instruction and quality-produced shoots for building your portfolio. We will also help you to understand the market, presentation and marketing.

The signal box offered a very tight environment in which to shoot and required careful placement of the lighting. The lighting used was 3 speedlights modified with a soft box, and bounced to provide a balanced light, with a key light separating the models right arm from the background, all triggered with Einchrom universal skyports.


The key point in setting the lighting was to balance with the ambient light outside so as not to was the windows out. Setting out the lights we had a speedlight back left, unmodified, providing the separation and also adding a hair light, carefully balanced so as not to overpower the ambient falling on the right side form the window.

There was also the main light, with the soft box providing the main light to the model, set high about 20 degrees above the models head, placed behind me to the left.

The third light was set behind the levers to add just a very small amount of light to the models left leg, separating her hip from the background.

On track with two speedlites and a 
small amount of sky.


The workshop is being held in Wiltshire a few miles from junction 16 on the M4
