Illumination: How to Control Natural Light and Modify it with Flash

Want a firmer grip on shooting on-location portraits and illumination?

Sometimes, all you need is an example of brilliance to show you what you’re missing. So what are you missing, exactly? Do you need some help with shooting, with direction, with lighting? What’s more important than these skills? Equipment comes and goes – quality education lasts.

That’s why we’ve featured Damien Lovegrove plenty of times before. Any time we send a video of his your way, we always get a lot of positive feedback. You seem to love his videos, and we’ve always appreciated his remarkable ability to simplify complex lessons.

So we’ve got a new video of his to show you. It’s called Illumination. And it’s about those three things to capturing great on-location portraits: Shooting. Directing. Lighting — both, natural and flash. And like all of his previous videos, the production value is insane.

It’s over an hour and a half long, and it’s broken down into 19 all-new chapters. You’ll tag along with Lovegrove as he goes through all his many different locations, sets, and shoots to figure his artistic direction. You’ll see how he overcomes the problems you’ve probably faced yourself.

So if you need some help shooting, directing, and lighting on-location portraits, there’s no one better to learn from than Damien Lovegrove. You’ll sharpen your understanding of flash and natural light – and learn timesaving technical tips to improve your overall ability to complete a shoot.
