Knowsley Hall Wedding Flash Shoot

This selection of images are from a big flash workshop held at Knowsley Hall in Liverpool. The workshop organised Brett Harkness, Brett and his wife Kristie have shot numerous weddings all over the world. His photography skills and lighting techniques make him one of the sort after photographer's in the UK. The main idea for me to attend, was to enhance further the light skills I currently use by incorporating portable studio flash on location, this now enables me to offer images to my clients that most other photographers would not even consider.

( Please see below) three types of lights where used, Elinchcrom Quadra, approx 600ws. and the Elinchrom Ranger 1200ws, with the odd speedlight for back and fill lights. All lights where modified with Portalite and Rotalux Softboxes to give a more softer light. At Heart weddings the Quadra is now standard kit, we will be starting to use the bigger Ranger kit in spring. Have fun. Regards Jon

Naomi Evis the complete collection

Hi everyone, here at last the final collection of Naomi Evis. the photographs were created using natural light, and at this time of year there's not a lot of it, especially indoors. all of the images are using natural light as the main key light, I have also used a Dedo daylight balanced video light as a kick light. the table refection shots were created using a Lowel id and a normal kitchen glass table. lens used is a nikon 85mm 1.4 prime, with the odd occasional use of a 105mm VR11 2.8 at f4. bodies used today Nikon D3 Nikon D3s.


The first shot of the day, Naomi stood under a Kitchen down lighter the colour temp was none to pleasing but it works so well as a Black & White with a cream tone.
