Damien Lovegrove is one of the most famous European portrait photographers and a source of inspiration to amateur and professional photographers alike. His energy shines through in his work. After two highly successful live events in Belgium, I’m super excited to host Damien again on May 19 and May 21 for…
… Lovegrove Portraits Deconstructed: a two-part online lecture
In each of these two live online sessions, Damien carefully deconstructs a number of his best portraits. He’ll explain his reasoning behind a particular pose, why he used a specific light, or where he drew his inspiration for a particular framing. Damien’s black & white work is very different from his colour portfolio, yet they have one thing in common: they both look stunning. That’s why we’ve decided to dedicate one session to each genre. On Tuesday, May 19, Damien will walk you through some of his best black & white work while on Thursday, May 21, he will discuss his use of colour. Damien will be talking live, so you’ll get a chance to ask questions.
We’ve deliberately kept the price of this two-part online lecture very affordable. Plus, there’s an early bird discount: book your spot before May 14 for only €30 instead of €50. No discount code needed. The price is already adjusted… but only until May 14!
If you can’t make it to one of the live sessions or even both, you can still book a spot because every participant receives a download of both sessions.
“Thanks for an incredible evening with Damien Lovegrove. Super interesting!”
What will you learn from ‘Lovegrove Portraits Deconstructed’?
Lovegrove Portraits Deconstructed will be less about gear and f-stops, but all the more about offering you ideas and inspiration on how to create portraits that stand the test of time, regardless of camera brand or megapixel count. In these two highly entertaining and informative sessions, Damien will discuss each photograph in turn: the way it was lit, the composition, narrative and the often crazy stories behind the pictures. Expect to be entertained, informed, educated and inspired all at once by a modern day master of photography.

Damien turned digital in 2001 and has never shot roll of film since. Those first ten years of digital shooting are featured in these events. At the time Damien was running a very successful wedding and portrait photography business. His hobby was photography too and he soon developed his passion for photographing people his way into a sideline to that wedding business.
“‘With a portrait photography business you have to photograph your clients in the way that they want to be photographed. You don’t get to choose your model, lighting, location or styling. I wanted to develop my creativity without those constraints and have photographs that I can publish at the end of the day. That’s why I started running workshops. The freedom to chose everything and the pressure to deliver results is a perfect combination.’”

Session 1: Lovegrove Black & White Portraits Deconstructed: Tuesday, May 19, 20.00 CEST
Photography began with blaci & white, so we felt it was only logical to make the first session all about Damien’s interpretation of that classic style. Below is a selection of some of the images Damien’s going to deconstruct during the first session on May 19. As you can see, there’s a good variety of styles and subjects, couples and individuals, men and women. So regardless of what you normally shoot, you’re bound to be inspired with new ideas and techniques.
Session 2: Lovegrove Colour Portraits Deconstructed: Thursday, May 21, 20.00 CEST
The second session will be all about colour. Bold or subdued. Striking or minimalist. Here are but a couple of the images that Damien is going to photographically dismantle in this second session on May 21.
Early bird offer expires on May 14, 2020, 23.59 CEST
