Are we able to put a few photos in here Gary?

EDIT: That's it. I'm posting a few! Of course, no PP here! Get it right IN THE CAMERA as Gary says... Naturally they can be improved with light PP/Cropping. Thanks so much do Benadicta! she's fantastic!

Here's yet another one (this will be the Benedica thread me thinks)...of her taken with a non conventional portrait lens (Gary's 10-20 SIGMA)..I quite liked the angle and slight distortion. Thoughts?

Here are mine from what was a fantastic day - Gary's education was invaluable, and we were truly lucky to have Benedicta as a patient and beautiful model. It was also good to meet new faces.

And this one being an attempt at Gary's suggested multiple exposure.

Thanks Geoff - I think everyone took amazing photos yesterday - it helps having a model like Benedicta and a teacher like Gary.

Looks like the portraiture workshop produced some really great results!

Great work all!

Rather than single any one out I just want to say there are great images here from all who've posted which I guess shows the strength of the day and the beauty of the model (and perhaps some talented photographers too :wink: )

Edit: Damn you Kris. I keep going back and looking at your second shot. There is something wonderful about the composition and your expsoure etc that really make that image a sublime photo. So I've just done what I said I wouldn't do!
