These are a few of the pictures from our first ever shooting couples workshop earlier today.
The format:
- A two hour shoot with Stina and Joel in the morning.
- Drive back to the Lovegrove studio for lunch
- A demonstration of how to select pictures that sell by Julie
- Speed editing using Lightroom and Photoshop by Marko
- A slideshow of the finished shots
The day was limited to just four delegates so we all had lots of time to shoot. The pictures were all exposed using natural light. Into the sun, in the full sun and in the shade. I used either my 100mm or 50mm lenses set to f/2.8 throughout. Enjoy

Please feel free to comment on these pictures or your experience on the day.
Please, please, please, please, please will you make a Shooting Couples or a Passion on the Streets training DVD one day.. (pretty please?)
I have all the others but I want more :-)
Hi Helen,
I expect there will be more DVDs at some point. Studio lighting is an obvious one missing from my lighting collection. The shooting couples training is something I love to share exclusively with my delegates at the moment. I’m also still working on a new genre for couples shooting. All will be revealed soon.
Kindest regards, Damien.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! THESE ARE AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE numbers 6 & 29 – GORGEOUS… I can’t wait till my brother comes back from Afganistan next month… I get 2 take him and his wife’s very first “couple’s pictures” I’m so excited!!!!!!!!!!

I love your way to work.
Gorgeous photos as always Damien
Great natural shots Damien. Just keeping the lips apart gives you a tremendous sense of anticipation.
Looking forward to getting my hands on that Bron!
Best wishes, Kind regards

Great shots as usual!
Thanks Ian :)
All great Damien
But 12 and 17………wow
My new Arri will be out today for practice
Phil
Thanks Phil, have fun with your Arri!
Cheers, Damien.
Hi Damien
Fantastic shots as usual!
Is f2.8 your new f4 – bit OT but would you now shoot weddings at 2.8 or is it just that you generally stop down a bit from the largest aperture on any given lens you are using?
I’m booked onto the 3 day wedding workshop at the end of Nov – can’t wait – just a pity the wedding I’m shooting this Saturday isn’t 6 weeks later!
Cheers
Richard
Hi Richard,
F/2.8 is my new f/4 although when there are two people involved f/4 is way better. You get 15cm of depth of field as apposed to 5cm! I look forward to shooting alongside you in a few weeks time. Damien.
PS: My primes look as great at f/2.8 as my zooms did at f/4.
Love the cyan looking window and 34 great shots with lots of interesting angles
Thanks Will, Once again you help me stay focussed. I appreciate your kind words.
Damien.
Really great work Damien. I love the intimacy of all the shots.
Thanks Keith, I’m working on my intimacy shots at the moment. Practice makes perfect! Cheers, Damien.
