I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Damien in one of his Tuscany workshops in 2022. Damien and the models he invited are true professionals: knowledgeable, skilful, and relatable. I am very appreciative of him for the fact that he has done a lot of work to spot photo-worthy locations. It is huge! That makes us photographers super happy as we have less things to worry about. I have so much fun shooting, learning, and making new friends. Shooting with Damien was the best decision I have ever made!

I participated in Damien's workshop in Tuscany last September. As a photographer who had been photographing scapes and nature for several years but who was sorely lacking in portrait/model photography experience, I was delighted when the chance to learn this genre from a great master came up and grabbed at it without hesitation.
The workshop didn't disappoint. I came away with plenty of photos that I (and many of my photography-circle friends whom I showed them to) like a great deal.
The group of participants was kept small. We stayed in a nice villa. Meals were great. And importantly, the photography locations were very well-researched, up to the hour to be at a particular location to catch the sun at the right... read moreI participated in Damien's workshop in Tuscany last September.

Damien was a good teacher, answering and patiently explaining all the questions we asked him. He was also well-prepared with supporting equipment eg. lights etc. for each of the settings so that our photos would turn out with the special oomph factor. The models he engaged for the shoot were experienced, patient and helpful towards us participants regardless of our experience level.
All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable learning experience and I came away with photos what I would never have imagined that I could achieve. I certainly look forward to joining his future workshops again. read less
