unfortunately the stylist is not available ( it's no use me trying to fix either) I shot them all in RAW with the WB set to flash (not that that matters I suppose). How would I fix in shop? patch repair the strands out or another technique? Regards Mick

Johnathan, Thank you for your candid debrief. the problem with the stray hair is that my garage is some distance from the salon (the salon is tiny with lots of distracting elements around the walls), by the time the model gets to me the hair is as you see it in the shots. I agree this should...

Some good advice thanks. I will try all recomendations next week. If I use a black background should I light it or not? I am limited to what height I can get a softbox or beauty light to, because I am using my garage as a studio. I can certainly position the head directly in front of the...

I bought 2 more gemini 400 in a kit today, on the assumption you can always reduce teh output, Cheers mick

I was wondering if someone could look at teh photos above and give me a steer, as to the lighting I have used. How I may improve it. Thanks Mick

What are the factors when deciding what power output your flash heads should be. I am a hobbyist with limited space in my garage. What would be a reasonable output to cover portraits (mostly head and shoulders, as I don't have sufficient space to do more). I would also like to try some...

Some examples of what I have managed to do to date. These photos are from two sittings. The first two I used a beauty dish as the main light and lit the background with cool lights. A small softbox to the left and a small hair light. The second two were taken using a large softbox as...

Thanks for all the help. I had a practice run on Saturday, I will post the results when I finish reviewing them all. I tried a number of backgrounds (black, white/grey and red velvet). The client wanted some profile shots and back of the head to show off the styles. However, as a hobbyist and...

http://www.jameswhitehair.co.uk/nottingham-bridal-wedding-hairdresser-wedding-bridal-hair-unstructured-updos/ I really like this idea.. what is the basic lighting here? 2nd and 4th pic down Mick

Tim Thanks for the link, some really good examples there. Mick

The first model is a dark blonde the other is dark hair

I have been asked by a friend to photograph some hair styles for a portfolio she wants for her salon. Fundementally wedding hair do's. I have 2 interfit 150's and a bowens 250 flash heads with 2 interfit cool lights. Is there any particular lighting setup that highlights the hair styles...

Visited Trebarwith Strand last night, not the most spectacular of sunsets and my results make it look even worse. Better luck at Boscastle today... couldn't find the castle though. Sat in a pub in Tintagel with the worst internet connection ever... never mind it is free..

David1701 I have made it to Cornwall staying in Tintagel until Saturday. Unfortunately limited Internet, iPhone only when signal permits. Are you still happy to show me landscape photography?

Phil, I like your photos some really dramatic seascapes. But it doesn't really answer my question of suitable locations around Tintagel and Mevagissey. Thanks mick
