I recommend you first download the files onto a desktop or laptop computer, where you have the ability to extract (unzip) the zipped files. From here you can synchronise the files with your smart devices in the usual way.

Please don’t attempt to download the videos directly onto your tablet/phone. You’ll need to download the files onto your desktop or laptop computer first.

I recommend that you download one part at a time to help reduce the chance of a connection failure, resulting in incomplete files.

About the presenter and photographer

Damien Lovegrove, That’s me. I am an eminent portrait photographer and Fujifilm brand ambassador. I have been making professional photographs since 1984. In my early years, I was a BBC TV cameraman before training as a lighting director. I left the BBC in 1998 to pursue a career as a commercial photographer and then went on to become a world-renowned wedding photographer. I am now an educator, adventurer, writer, and presenter. I’m inspired by beauty and as I have matured as a photographer I’ve learned to see beauty in just about everyone and everywhere. It’s not what I look at that matters, it is what I see. Being a good portrait photographer requires key traits like having integrity, fun, respectfulness, and a personable character. It wasn’t until I was in my early 30s that I began to gain that all-important confidence needed to hone these skills, and I shot my first portrait in 1996 at the age of 32. Some of the leading photographers I met early in my career had confidence and craft skills in bucket loads, but somehow they lost the desire or focus to really push themselves to greatness, and they fell by the wayside. It takes continual practice and improvement to get the most from photography and there are many obstacles along the way to overcome.
