About Damien

Photography is the best thing ever, and it’s all I’ve ever done. I began to learn the trade at college and through assisting fashion and product photographers, then I went to sea for three years of social photography (all on film!) travelling around the world on cruise ships. I was lucky enough to spend 16 years working at the weekly magazine Amateur Photographer – a magazine I became editor of. I got to know all brands of cameras, lenses and accessories inside out, and was able to interview a host of famous professionals and learn about their techniques too. When I started all the cameras we reviewed shot film, but when I finished the world had switched to digital photography - so I’m well versed in both. Through the magazine I created three diploma courses tackling different aspects of photography, and every week we wrote and produced articles on technique and technical issues, as well as pieces dealing with art and visualisation. Eventually I went freelance, which allowed me to continue doing the things I love. I still write reviews, interviews and opinion pieces for photography magazines and websites. I also work for camera and accessory manufacturers, am a commercial photographer for businesses, and I give talks, lectures and workshops on photography. I’ve taught adults on a one-to-one basis as well as in groups, and I’ve recently devised and delivered a series of practical lessons for secondary school pupils. I’ve judged numerous national and international competitions, including the Sony World Photography Awards, Landscape Photographer of the Year, Amateur Photographer of the Year, British Photographer of the Year and the Hasselblad Masters. I’ve written and illustrated articles on photography and equipment for British Journal of Photography, DP Review, Royal Photographic Society magazine, The Saturday Times and many others in the UK and abroad.

My lessons are always based around your wants, needs and problems, so I spend time asking questions and finding out what you would like to get out of our time. If you are working towards an exam then obviously we’ll concentrate on what you need to know and achieve to get the best mark, but if you are taking pictures for fun or a personal project we can concentrate on the aspects you enjoy most. Either way, our conversations, exercises and practical demonstrations will move your photography forward in a dramatic way. You will gain a better understanding of how to express yourself through the medium and how to make the camera produce the images that are in your head. I will explain technical concepts using straightforward language so you can’t help but understand, and I’ll show you techniques that will move your image-making into a new realm. I’m happy to teach all ages, and photographers with 50 years’ experience or none at all. You’ll get homework if you want it and our lessons can be an hour or as long as you like. I’ve been writing about and demonstrating photography and photography technique for almost thirty years, I teach individuals and groups, lecture photographic societies and explain camera features and functions for camera and photographic accessory manufacturers. Most lessons will be online, but I’m also happy to meet in person for practical sessions where possible. And, importantly, we'll have a lot of fun while we do it
