The course starts the moment you enrol and you can go at your own pace. The course content is initially released over a period of 14 days so as not to overwhelm you from the start, but you are free to take as long as you want to finish the course.

You can do that for sure but you must understand that the majority of the content in this course is unique. I’ve not held anything back and you can email me anytime with questions that arise. You will also get access to a series of Zoom seminars where I answer student questions.

This is a lifetime access course. You can log back in at any point and join a Q&A Zoom session if you would like me to discuss anything in more depth. You will have my school email address and as a student you will be able to ask me for advice at any time.

You can attend as many Zoom sessions as you like. They are currently scheduled approximately every 4 to 5 weeks with a break in August. All the dates for 2025 and the log in details are published already in the course curriculum.

I thoroughly recommend that participants have a copy of the video called Lumen and a copy of my ebook called Portraits. These supplement the learning in this course. If you have recently purchased Lumen, Portraits or the complete Lovegrove Collection you will have received by email a heavily discounted invitation to join this course. If you didn’t receive the email please let me have the email address you used to buy the products and your current email to which you would like me to send the discount code.

There are times in all of our lives where restrictions on time or money prevent us from doing the things that we love. It is easier to find the time to watch the videos and take on the knowledge so when you can set up shoots again you will be starting from a far better place.

This course is pretty much all new in concept. I have used 10 previous items within the 47 videos. The vast majority of the content is newly recorded and the scripts/texts are newly written.

It is different from the previous videos and my eBook because it brings together all the knowledge and information into one coherent course. My previous videos, like Lumen and Illumination are great accompaniments to this course because they show my communication with the models and the rigging of lights etc.

Moving forward, all my BTS videos will be published exclusively within this course. I plan to make 10 or 12 completely new items each year and over time this Portrait Lighting Mastery course will probably have twice the number of videos than it currently has. The price of the course will increase in time to cover the added value but once enrolled you will have access to all the new content for free.

If you are on the fence, my advice is to enrol and check out the content. There are 14 days of drip feed and once you have access to the complete course you will be able to determine the true value of the course to you. I have a 30 day full money back guarantee so you can activate this if you are not completely satisfied.

A one day workshop with me costs about $500, A multi day adventure costs $5000 and I’m well aware that these prices are well out of the reach of a lot of photographers who want to learn my skills. This was one of the reasons I set about creating this masterwork containing all the knowledge and wisdom that I possess. I started by restricting the content to portraiture lighting but as you will know by now, I’ve expanded the curriculum into other related areas of photography. It doesn’t stop here though. I’ll be adding new content and updating older content from time to time too. There is also direct contact via email support with me. I don’t use ghost writers or virtual PAs. I respond to all my emails personally. Then there are 10 Zoom sessions each year where I get to answer your questions on all things photography. All things considered, the course pricing represents remarkable value.

Exactly! Once you have completed this course, that niggling fear of shooting portraits will be gone and a new level of confidence will empower your creativity. You'll want to get out and shoot knowing that you have a greater skill level to utilise. You won't be alone either. You can reach out to me for help and advice via email. When you are on a shoot you might find yourself asking the question "What would Damien do here?" and then wait for the inspiration to arrive.

I want you to be completely satisfied with this course. If for any reason you're not delighted, I will give you a full refund, so you can enrol risk free.
