well; its been years since i first scene Mr. Damien Lovegrove and this is my first comment, though i have been stating I'm studying his photography techniques I'm getting a lot more knowledgeable about things like dropping the exposure 1 stop and fashion appears more photogenic
Thanks Mark. Wow, this video is old but even at 14 years old there is stuff in there that resonates today. Keep on being inspired and love your photography. Best regards, Damien.
@@LovegroveTraining As still a inexperienced protege. what i see is the numbers might not have changed to much but technology has : Some monochrome from the 50's and 60's are more impressive to me in the raw while new photo's can be developed with superior photoshop technology : i fell in love with hard lighting and scatter flash verse soft boxes after studying your photography Mr lovegrove _ Tutorials I,ve seen don't recommend spot light LED or fresnel photograpghy : it appears their just not really good at it
Mr Lovegrove. Amazing your ability to show your knowledge in a rather humbling manner. Congratulations for sharing it with everyone interested in this expression of art. You make beautiful creative compositions using a constant and simple technique. Superb video.
Another great tutorial! And free of charge! That's amazing, thank you Mr. Lovegrove! One question: what is this amazing tripod which you can extend so high?? It looks very light but at the same time very stable!
Thank you Astro Ricky. I can't remember what tripod I was using back in 2007 and I'm pretty sure it is not available now but I can recomend the one I currently use. It is made of carbon fibre and it goes very tall. It is a Novo Explorer T20 with a Benro head and a Really Right Stuff quick release plate. I use it with Gitzo rubber feet that are firmer. Kind regards, Damien.
@@LovegroveTraining Thank you for your answer but what I meant is the light stand! Sorry for the confusion! I am looking for something stable which at the same time is not so heavy as a classic "C" stand.
Hi again. There are literally thousands of lighting stands out there. My favourites are my Lowel Grand Stands, (not easy to get anymore) My Lastolite Jupiter stands, (high and lightweight with a good spread) and my Matthews folding stands that fit in a suitcase
TAKE TAHT !!!!! Manual snobs (myself included... haha ) !!! .... P mode ...!!! ... Fantastic video .... it doesn't matter .. A mode ...P mode ... Fuck mode ..... its the picture that counts.!!!! thank you for the video!
The contrast is created by using maximum flash power and zooming in the flash head. The exposure is then set to keep the shadows really dark and the flash position adjusted to taste.
Hector Marroquin That's a shame because you missed a lot of creative lighting and photography (not all in program mode I must add). It was the right mode for the shot. Open your mind.
Technique Purism is counter productive, the results are what count, the only reason to for any technique. Use what is going to deliver what you intend. I seldom use Program mode, on my camera, Nikon is just sets a exposure related ratio between exposure triad variables when one variable is selected by the photographer the exposure contribution of the other elements compensate. Very useful for many. Nothing amateur about it, or no violation of secret pro photo golden rules. If the intended results was achieved by a Scene mode like on a point and shoot, one would be a fool not to use it. The tools do not matter, the results are, well, all that matter. With that foregoing in mind, what was wrong with the result? I sure did not see anything but a successful result.
So the actual techniques mean nothing? I mean, I never use P Mode but this has a lot of useful information that you just decided to forego lol. Okay then.
I have enjoyed watching your videos. Your photographic skill combined with your calm demeanor is a wonderful combination

How the hell do you get so much contrast on the wall in the second picture ? After post production ? I'm so jealous :D
The contrast is created by using maximum flash power and zooming in the flash head. The exposure is then set to keep the shadows really dark and the flash position adjusted to taste.
What ring light is that?
You lost my interest as soon as you started shooting in program mode

so you think they put Program (P) on 7-8 thousand dollars cameras for nothing...
Oh my, what a ridiculous comment. Must be strange being you.
