Damian McGillicuddy - Ireland Tour 2012 Talk Synopsis - Fashion Fusion - Contemporary Portrait Seminar http://swpp.co.uk/seminar_files/mcgillicuddy_2012.htm The seminar will demonstrate: How the correct modifier can make your life easier and the image you capture much stronger. All the lighting patterns that catch the eye of discerning, contemporary clients. That hair, accent and separation lighting gives your images the depth, dimension and polish of a true professional. How to tame ratios and totally understand the inverse square law. By doing it right and capturing more “in camera” you will rely far less on post production, thus speeding up your workflow. That harnessing, manipulating and controlling light is paramount if you want to raise your image-making out from the ranks of the masses, separating it as something special. Learn to turn the “everyday” into extraordinary locations. Learn to take fashion inspired imagery with minimum kit Learn to light images with maximum finesse but minimum “fiddle”. BONUS: Learn how a McGillicuddy designed price list maximises profit. If you are serious about your imagery ask yourself this... “Can I afford to miss this seminar?” Book Now
