The Portrait Lighting Mastery Course
by Damien Lovegrove
Learn creative techniques to master lighting setups, become a great photographer, and shoot breathtaking portraits.
“I’ve been on many courses and learned so much from Damien. But I didn’t have much confidence in my ability and I was not sure how to bring it all together. There was just so much information and sometimes I felt I could do better.
All I needed was a way to unlock what I’d learned before. That’s what this course has done for me. It’s given me the confidence to get out there and take photographs.” Ted Ridgway Watt
