Fashion Fusion - Contemporary Portrait Seminar

Join Damian as he tours around Europe in his Fashion Fusion - Contemporary Portrait Seminars. In September he will be up in Scotland were you will get the chance to learn a vast array of knowledge and skills.

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.
