Damien LovegroveThe Lovegroves burst onto the wedding photography scene in 2000 and it took them just two years to reach the top of their game.  Prophotonut is Damien Lovegrove's resource base for photographers turning pro. Check out his DVDs, book and training workshops. To check out his latest DVD 'Big Day' visit prophotonut and lovegroveconsulting.

Here's Damien's tip:

"Study photographs and paintings to find out how they work. Discover what makes an image great. Learn to read a picture and to break it down into its core elements. This deconstruction will help you to develop your craft skills and to see potentially great images unfolding in front of you at weddings. Most importantly allow your picture shooting style to evolve continually and keep looking for new ways to develop it."

Lovely satirical look at the post production technique pushed to the max. Reminds me of Martin Par's set of pictures at the Street Or Studio exhibit in the Tate Modern last summer where he had his own portrait done in various photography studios worldwide.

Very dry and brave.

What a beautiful shot! The turquoise sky and white flowers caught my attention (as well as the building). Everything is just perfect in this photograph. Smile
