Adrian was an attendee at one of our recent two day workshops we run in conjunction with the Royal Photographic Society (RPS).   After every workshop a really useful part of the process is to send in some completed images for a critique.   These images are from Adrian.   Not all images have to be brilliant, sometimes it is the ones that got away that the instruction is most useful for.
 
 
Firstly, for all the images I am a bit concerned about the colour cast on them all.   Shooting using the flash white …

David was an attendee at our recent two day workshop on fashion, nudes and portraits that we ran in conjunction with the Royal Photographic Society.   After every workshop we invite attendees to send images for review and critique, which is a very important and valuable part of the workshop process.
