15:30 – Damian McGillicuddy – Making light work – major gains for mini effort
Photography is a little bit of a paradox, is it art? Is it science?? Or is it a business???
Of course the answer is all three. Photography can also be a “Time thief” and nowhere is this more unwelcome than if you want to earn a few pounds from your camera!
Over the last decade, as an industry we have taken the focus off business in the camera room, getting things right in camera, understanding its all about “idea and execution” and not about equipment… well its high time for change!
Damian the “BIG” Dog McGillicuddy, the Societies only double barred Grand Master, will be honoured to share time and knowledge with you, to guide you, into saving time and effort in image creation – but still shooting without a quality compromise!
Damian will show you just how you can light people effectively and simply without the need for “All the gear”. Decades of practical experience allows this true Master of light to get MAXIMUM effect from both MINIMUM kit and MINIMUM effort.
Why should you attend, the answer is simple, take on board his simple philosophies and you will be creating better images, both quicker and easier – which ultimately will make better images that make you MORE MONEY for LESS time and effort.
Miss it – miss out.
