Damien Lovegrove remotely teaching Adobe Lightroom online in a 1 to 1 class

The Process

Once you have made your booking, I will contact you and arrange a mutually convenient time for your first session. I am used to working across different time zones so this should not be a problem.

How Many Images Should I Choose?

You send me a batch of 40 or so raw files via WeTransfer. I’ll preload them into a new Lightroom catalogue ready for our Skype session. I’ll then share my screen. You get to see everything that I am doing in real time. At the end of the session, any XMP files generated can be sent back to you so that you have all the new edits. Throughout the process I will cover wider topics including long term file and picture management strategies, and alternative methods of selecting pictures as required.

At a Time to Suit You

I work in a wide range of time zones and I’m available to give 1:1 sessions from 09:00 – 23:00 GMT (UTC). I run online sessions for clients in New York, Panama, Munich and Hong Kong among other locations.

Local Recording

I record my side of our session locally and I can send it to you afterwards using WeTransfer if the transmission quality had dropped for any reason.

The Benefits of Learning The Art, Not Just The Craft

There are many free tutorials on YouTube that show you the Lightroom tools and how they work but they don’t teach you how to make your pictures come alive. YouTube education can be excellent for learning the craft. Like learning how to become an expert with Microsoft Word for instance, but still not able to write a poem. Knowing how to use the tools is one thing. Knowing what to do with them is another thing entirely.

High Technical Quality

I use a combination of Ecamm Live Pro with Skype so that I can share my screen in super high quality with you and provide a picture in picture experience so that we can feel more connected. I use a pro grade Fujifilm camera and a broadcast quality microphone for crystal clear sound.

Your personal tutor: Damien Lovegrove

I am kind, sharing and patient. I take care to communicate in in a sensitive way. I am good at appreciating achievement and seeing potential rather than just problems. Having said that I am honest and I say it as I see it.

As a specialist portrait photographer with 35 years of professional photography under my belt, I have developed a finely tuned understanding of light. I also understand subject connection and emotional narrative in portraiture and how hard this is to achieve. It’s a bit like riding a bike uphill at times but when it all starts to click you can enjoy the journey down the other side. Once you know what to look for in your photography everything becomes easier and far more enjoyable. A critique with me will help you develop as a photographer.

When you enroll in one of Damien's workshops you are in for a treat! (I did the Tuscany tour). Damien is a master of light and was openly sharing his knowledge; a kind and patient teacher who held nothing back. Damien pays great attention to detail; he handpicked all the shooting locations and knew the exact timing for the lighting to be perfect.... read more

I have just spent two days in Tuscany with Damien Lovegrove and Michela making some of the best portraits I have ever made.
There are a number of reasons for why this is my third workshop with Damien. But especially one reason stands out.
I am fully aware there are other good photographers. I am however convinced there are very few if any who are able... read more

I’ve been on many workshops with Lovegrove Adventures over the past 10 years. I’ve been to Spain, France, Germany, the UK, Umbria and Tuscany several times. Each event has been wonderful, the photographs that I’ve shot are fabulous as well.
There is always time & space to investigate your own version of an image, but when you get stuck assistance always arrives from Damien at... read more

I participated in Damien's workshop in Tuscany last September. As a photographer who had been photographing scapes and nature for several years but who was sorely lacking in portrait/model photography experience, I was delighted when the chance to learn this genre from a great master came up and grabbed at it without hesitation.

The workshop didn't disappoint. I came away with plenty of... read more
