What do you want from a workshop?

We all ask ourselves this question from time to time. And the answer is surprisingly simple; a set of tools that I can use, again and again. Not a manual that I might flick through once and then consign to a shelf in the study. Glyn Dewis' workshop did not fall into this category; not by along shot.

This was a tester; myself and six other photographers were 'test pilots' before Glyn takes the workshop live. These days are very important as it give the vital feedback to refine the workshop. The day was split into two; morning shooting and afternoon editing. Steve was our model, my first thought was Terminator or Captain America. Glyn ran through the lighting set-up and then we had a go. His only stipulation was for us to be honest and give constructive criticism. It was a great day, lots of laughs and great shooting.
