I went to one of these last year and had a great time. Ian's holding two workshops this year, Friday 29th July & Friday 26th August. I'm definitely going in August though this time I'll be mainly along for a fun weekend in Paris and assisting with the heavy lifting
Anyway, I'd highly recommend this for all sorts of reasons. If you've got any interest at all in portrait photography or lighting/flash techniques then this would be right up your street.
The day was a real eye-opener for me. Having admired Ian's portrait style for some time I'd always assumed it involved all sorts of complicated lighting setups and hours of preparation. It was a real insight then to see that in fact most of the time that look was possible with just a single off-camera flash and a couple of modifiers (softbox/umbrella and perhaps a reflector).
So, if you're interested let us know in here and we can thrash out some details
