More than a decade after its original release, the lessons remain as relevant as ever. Because great portraiture is not just about the equipment. It’s about light. It’s about communication. It’s about trust. And it’s about helping people look and feel their very best in front of the camera.

In this production Damien uses a classic HMI Fresnel spotlight by Lupo. This kind of continuous light has been superseded by continuous LED spotlights. The light rig that Damien uses now is the Amaran 200X S with the Aputure 1x4 barn door.

Bonus chapter
When I was reviewing my archive I stumbled across an extra chapter that didn't make the original production because I lit the shot using flash. I've added that chapter to this Archive Edition.

Simply Boudoir was withdrawn from sale several years ago because the Lupo light that I used became no longer available. I now use an LED equivalent and it is more powerful, cheaper and far more convenient than the Lupo HMI. Now I have decided to make Simply Boudoir available once again as an Archive Edition for a new generation.
