I agree with maxby.

Good work.

We feel sure Shriro-Hasselblad and Profoto-Lastolite will probably be quite willing to co sponsor at least another two more Azrul Experiences this year. And maybe we can even do one especially for people who love shooting with Ilford, and their vintage Swedish GFs. You can use the H4D40, H4D50 or maybe even the H4D60 as your Polaroid preview cameras.....

Now that would be the ultimate in cross poisoning, eh...Jason ???

nice work guys! Personally I think those pics from Jayudan deserve a special mention as they are not your usual run of the mill pictures. The photographer is evidently very clear in what he/she wants as the final image as it is definitely not easy to control the lighting. Looks like Azrul is an excellent teacher.
Keep up the good work everyone!

Sifu Maxby, thanks for your encouragement.

Thanks dumbdumb, I agree with you that Azrul is an excellent teacher, I have learned so much in his class.
what I'm trying to do is to merge my art with my photography, I have only taken up photography recently, although I have been painting for a long time.

Im glad to see some of the work that came out of the workshop. As I mentioned; I like seeing original work; something different, unique, different if not totally mind-boggling. Portraits aren't about copycat-lighting.

Once the PMPE team are back from Bangladesh, I'm looking forward to having a critique session at the studio to review all the images we had from that day.

Thanks to Azul insight into one light/natural light portraiture, sure learnt a lot during the workshop. Just found some time to process some of my shots:

My three shots of the model using the prophoto beauty dish.

is a good start.

but, can be better.

btw, the light meter is there but i can see many exposure failure. perhaps just a test?

keep up with the effort

I was really looking forward to this workshop by Azrul...but gotta to work on that day.

There are many good portraits there, however there are two I like most .... June's first picture and of course the Masta's portrait of the model.
