Thank you, I'll be making more videos soon for sure. Kind regards, Damien

From simple setups to high end results it doesn’t get any better.thanks.

Thank you Donal :)

[@Project_2501]

Damien, you always take me back to that unique and artistic feel photography used to have 15 years ago, before the digital flood changed everything! You show that you don't necessarily need all this overly cinematic gear the kids are chasing these days, with tons of light sources and modifiers, but you actually manage to create a Rembrandt-like image that rather looks like an actual painting, doing it the old fashioned way with the simplest setup imaginable. I enjoy that very much! It reminds me to some times just regress with my own work and do things a more simple way.
Your video made my day once again. Always looking forward for more!

[@LovegroveTraining]

Thank you :) I suppose I just stick to the core principles and try to keep things simple. Get it right in-camera is my way of working. Your compliments are very welcome. Cheers, Damien.

[@batangantipolo-ksa1672]

Sir, can I use a regular speedlight in this kind of photography? I only have a Yongnuo 568EX II with a Godox transmitter and reciever for now.

[@LovegroveTraining]

@@batangantipolo-ksa1672 Yes indeed. Where I'm on 1/8th power you will need to be on 1/2 power. Zoom your flash to 105mm and you'll be fine.

[@johnleighdesigns]

fantastic results that any model/actor would love to have in their portfolio! I often find myself going back and forth between umbrella, softboxes aiming to flatter the actor/model as much as possible for headshots and portraits. Recently I did a shoot with bare speedlites as the model has great skin and the resuts were great - seeing your video reminds me to get out my scatterflash as well as try more with bare flash for a simpler, speedier approach

[@LovegroveTraining]

Thanks, John for your lovely message. Hard light is only harsh light when used badly. Stay inspired. Kind regards, Damien.

[@baorpt]

You are a genius at using smoke n light. Thats really impressive.

[@LovegroveTraining]

Well done & awaiting a lot more from you.
