Review by Faby and Carla

A couple of years ago we met the work of Damien Lovegrove and we immediately saw something that caught our eyes: his images have an emotional feeling to them and they have a great natural quality. The energy is great and not once you have to guess what’s going on. When Damien shoots in a dark environment, he makes sure that a light is positioned on him, so you can see him when he talks and explain concepts. Moreover you can see the resulting images straight after he shoots them, making you understand what he is talking about straight away: big plus! Damien delivers great information as stated on the web page: a few small repeatable tips and tricks to make your photography easier with better results which in our opinion is something special.

How do I play the video on my tablet or smart phone?

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.

What will I receive?

This Lovegrove video production has been split into two bite sized parts to make it quicker and easier to download. Each part is a zipped folder containing the video files you need. Once you’ve downloaded and unzipped everything, place all the files into one folder and store in a safe and convenient place on your computer. 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.
