A Master Class In Style

Multi-award -winning Professional Photographer Damian Mcgillicuddy Reveals Some of the Secrets Behind His Successful Photography and Workshops

- 

There can't be many professional photographers that can claim the same level of recognition from his peers as Damian McGillicuddy. In a career spanning over 30 years, Damian has received around 700 international awards, including ten fellowships and a double masters.

Specialising in portraiture in its many forms, from babies to fashion to artistic nudes, Damian's images show a craftsmanship and attention to detail that is second to none. From composition through to styling and lighting, every element is captured in his own distinctive style. his success is made even more remarkable by the fact he was made to leave art school, as it was felt he'd never make it as a photographer!

"In fairness, being kicked out was the motivation I needed to succeed" reveals Damian. "I was 16 when I left art school and I thought, 'right, I'm going to prove them wrong'. to be honest if I knew back then what I know now then I would never have bothered, but it was the arrogance of youth!"
