Urban Portraits in London
Model Anna Zella Location London
My urban portraits with speedlights is one of my most popular workshops running, showing you how to create amazing shots on the busting streets of London with just 1 speedlight or even a video light and a little bit of imagination.
First Shoot Natural Light
The workshop had 7 of us, so starting at the Tate and covering 5 locations we had lots of coffee on the way to keep us and the model (Anna) warm. The shots below are from the day with some straight out of the camera with no editing, and others with a small amount of retouching.
Second Shoot Using The Westcott iceLights
At the end of our day everyone took some new tips and trick’s away with them along with knowing a bit more about speedlights with understanding how to control them from the camera no matter what the make of light.
Third Shoot at St Paul’s
The last image from the shoot and right out of the camera creating are own B&W within the camera settings using the Red filter

Hi Rob
Really had a superb day, great to go through some of the finer points of the camera with you and Anna was just totally professional, best wishes for 2015 and look forward to seeing you next year
Thanks Brian, was a pleaser to have you along, yes look forward to next year and having you on other workshops.
merry christmas and happy new year!
The ‘urban portraits’ session on the 6th was great and I learned a lot, not just about the tech stuff but, following your example, and engaging in an open, friendly manner with the model (and us ‘apprentices’): it was amazing to see just what Anna could do to make an image ‘work’.
PS the video-continous lighting tips are really useful; yes I got one!
Thanks Pat, Glad all the tips was useful for you and feel free to ask for more along the way!
Was great having you along and look forward to next time, now time to practise with your new light, enjoy
