Damian McGillicuddy - Ireland Tour 2012 Fashion Fusion - Contemporary Portrait Seminar 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.
