Master your camera on a fabulous, fun photoshoot. This is your chance to improve your lighting techniques and shooting confidence. Supercharge your photography with one to one expert guidance. Your shoot can be tailored to suit your needs entirely.
Location, location, location. You can shoot in a studio, a hotel room, at the beach, on city streets, in the desert or in abandoned villas. Whatever option you choose we will have a fun, creative photoshoot. We can use flash or continuous light as appropriate. You can shoot with any make of camera as I have flash triggers to suit them all.
Your personal photoshoot
Your genre – Choose from Boudoir, Hollywood Glamour, Artistic Nudes, Urban Portraits, Street Fashion and Figure in the Landscape.
Your Location – Choose from one of our top UK venues or a location in the country of your choice.
Your choice of model – Choose from the extensive list of Lovegrove Girls, a model local to the shoot location. A guy or girl. We work with models of all ages and sizes. We can shortlist models that meet your brief exactly.
Prices from £650
A full day of training with me is £1000+vat. A half-day is £650+vat. On a full-day session, I usually start the shoot at 9.30am and the shoot usually ends at about 5.30pm. Lunch and refreshments are included. I will supply all the lighting kit that we need and the styling too. I am happy to provide email support and preparation advice prior to your training day to make sure you get the very most out of your time with Me. If necessary we can put together a mood board for us to refer to during the shoot.
I am very accustomed to linking several training days together to create a longer photoshoot experience. We can put together a cost-effective package for you to make your multi-day photo shoot more appealing. Please ask for a quote.
Extras
We can book a Model from about £300, payable by you on the day. A make-up artist that can do hair is often a great asset on a shoot too. We can arrange for one of those to attend for the first part of the day or the whole day as required. Prices from £150. The cost of the venue if we are using a stately home or a hotel is extra too. If there are significant travel expenses for me these will need to be covered at cost.
Tip: The advantage of staying in a hotel is that your accommodation and the shooting venue costs can be rolled into one. If we are shooting Hollywood Glamour, Boudoir or Lifestyle Nude genres we can use your hotel bedroom or suite as the shoot location.
Hotel rooms are perfect interior locations for 1:1 training because they are often intimate places suited to a small shooting team.

Your personal tutor: Damien Lovegrove
I am kind, sharing and patient. I take care to communicate in a way that reaches every level.
We can set up the in-camera menus together and I will check every aspect of your camera craft skills as we shoot to ensure you are working effeciently to get fabulous pictures.
I’ll show you how to build rapport and communicate with our model to make structured poses look quite relaxed and natural. Nothing is left to chance. Everything has a purpose and I’ll share with you how I style each shot.
I have an understanding of light that I’m well known for and I’ll teach you how I see the light. Once you know what to look for everything becomes easier. If we are using the flash we will be recreating a striking natural light look.
My attention to detail will ensure that you capture portfolio grade images and internalise the knowledge needed for your own shoots in the future.
Let’s make this happen
Email us and we will liaise with you regarding dates, locations, models and genres. Laura and Blaise will get everything organised so that we can immerse ourselves in a fabulous photo shoot.
“You are a true gentleman and your way of creating a respectful environment for the model was a great source on inspiration to me”

Reviews from Google
On top of this there were all the non-photography things that made the trip stand out, a lovely villa with a chef that cooked us breakfast and dinner, nice bottles of wine and great lunch spots. We learnt during the day and bonded at night, talking photography, life and much more... A truly memorable experience. Note: My husband came as an add-on and equally enjoyed the trip!
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 to create a relaxed yet serious and creative atmosphere where workshops participants and models are motivated to do their very best to make excellent pictures, to learn, and to have fun at the same time of.
Lovegrove is a generous person in every sense of the word and even though he is the “instructor” he is more than willing to listen to ideas to try out new ways and to change the program.
The one-hour lightroom follow up session on Teams is a kind of dessert where we discussed the workshop and I got some very useful ideas for how to edit my pictures.
I will finally comment the model Michela. Her mature personality, charisma and engagement made a great contribution to two amazing days
There is always time & space to investigate your own version of an image, but when you get stuck assistance always arrives from Damien at exactly the right time, this cannot be a coincidence! The success of these events is down to a combination of Damien’s enthusiasm and the fine details at the planning stage. The events that I’ve been on have cemented my passion for photography and enriched my life.
Many thanks & looking forward to more adventures in the future.

The workshop didn't disappoint. I came away with plenty of photos that I (and many of my photography-circle friends whom I showed them to) like a great deal.
The group of participants was kept small. We stayed in a nice villa. Meals were great. And importantly, the photography locations were very well-researched, up to the hour to be at a particular location to catch the sun at the right angle etc.
Damien was a good teacher, answering and patiently explaining all the questions we asked him. He was also well-prepared with supporting equipment eg. lights etc. for each of the settings so that our photos would turn out with the special oomph factor. The models he engaged for the shoot were experienced, patient and helpful towards us participants regardless of our experience level.
All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable learning experience and I came away with photos what I would never have imagined that I could achieve. I certainly look forward to joining his future workshops again.
