Catherine Connor lecture ’60 minutes to change your businesses performance’ got to grips with the ever-challenging topic of moving a photographic business forward. As photographers we often overlook the essentials and that are running our business successfully, Catherine a recognised expert in the field hit the audience with an insightful lecture, which was guaranteed to inspire.
Damian McGillicuddy aka ‘The Big Dog’ sunk his teeth into his inspirational lighting and posing lectures ably assisted by his model, Jen Brooks. Damian said, I had a FABULOUS day yesterday sharing a laugh and a joke, along with a little education at two ”taster” presentations I did at the Societies ”Mini Convention” in Bolton. Its great to see the enthusiasm and interest in people wishing to learn and better their craft. It really is a privilege for Team McGillicuddy to present and hopefully inspire people on to bigger and better things in your own photographic journey. So thank YOU very much for giving me the platform and your time.
