Photographing people with Damien Lovegrove

I'm thrilled to have organised this talk from Damien Lovegrove. A photographer who I have followed for a great deal of time on social media, along with seeing his various work and articles published in all forms of mainstream media.

The session will cover three major topics...

Rapport: The psychology of the shoot, What to say and do before the shoot, how to build rapport and a working relationship and how to create moments of magic to capture.

Light: Fundamentals of lighting the face; steepness of the key light, which side to light the person from and when to use hard light and soft light.

Location: Make the world your studio; Integrating the location into the shot, use of texture and light creatively and how to develop a recognisable style.

From Damien:

I am a photographer best known for my location and studio portraits of women. I finished taking on client commissions in 2018 and I now concentrate on personal work, workshops, books and talks.

I am based in the UK but I travel throughout the world in search of amazing locations to make pictures. I share these global travels with likeminded photographers who crave beautiful life experiences on a Lovegrove adventure.
