we have been very quiet on the blog posts for a while now, don’t worry we haven’t disappeared or not found anything of interest to tell you about, but instead we’ve just been far too busy to update here. Hopefully we will change that after this weekend and show you some of the things we have been doing. Expect some updates on Kennys FrontMan project, which is looking great, a post from our newest team member Matt Martin looking into the world of zines, and some model tests for Profile by Kevin. We hope that the somewhat reluctant summer isn’t stopping you from making new work, projects and getting out and about with your cameras. Check back with us soon, GS.

These images were shot at a recent test shoot at the studio. The lighting was kept really simple with a couple of softboxes and a beauty dish for nice soft even light.

Here’s some images and feedback from some of the students who took part in the workshops with Lou O Bedlam last weekend. We’d like to thank everyone that took part in the sessions for making then so enjoyable, and especially to Lou for his hard work, and his fantastic informative and laid back style of teaching.
Jayna
Thanks for organising this workshop the 2nd time around. I missed it the first time and really really enjoyed and most importantly, learnt a lot from the workshop. Lou led the workshop well, and I appreciated the critique session. His honest comments about everyones photos helped learning from my own photos and others too.
Andrew Mwai
Andrew McConnochie
The workshop was an excellent opportunity to meet with a photographer whose work truly inspires me. It was great to hear first hand some of the thinking that goes into Lou’s work and to be challenged a bit on the quality of my own work. The mix of discussion, practical experience of shooting with models and then critiquing our efforts worked really well. I left the workshop with a renewed determination to find my own artistic approach to photography and I also picked up some practical tips on approaching a shoot. Lots of food for thought and lots of encouragement to create something that no one else would…DON’T BE GENERIC!!!! All in all it was an inspiring day
Colin Strain
Lou is great. He has a unique ability to say what technically amounts to very little yet at the same time managed to fill my mind with idea’s, inspiration and confidence. He feeds back in a positive manner. He doesn’t hold back but manages to phrase things in a way that didn’t appear to get anyone’s backs up. That’s a rare skill.

Following up to his ‘Butchers’ series, Dave Imms’ recent work involves pictures of squash players. He has photographed them immediately after playing a competitive game. It is called ‘Squash Players’.
“I want this set of images to be clinical but also resonate a sense of grit. I think a lot of that is done by the arena of the squash court with it’s hard lines and colourless walls, but it also comes from within the nothingness of the sitter. Simply, this person has nothing left to give.
There is something about the human condition that interests me. Not only is it the physical (sweat, aches and pains), but the mental…The things we put ourselves through in the name of leisure…”

The girls from Vintage Owl Boutique have had a busy summer so far. Not only have they been taking the Vintage fairs by storm, but they’ve also just joined the ASOS market place, not bad for a first year of trading. To celebrate their first birthday, they asked Garage Studios Shoot. All the clothes are original vintage pieces
