Featured Speaker, Main Stage, Saturday July 23rd @ 2:45PM – 3:45PM

Makeup Artist & Hair Stylist SONIA LEAL-SERAFIM will be demonstrating as well as speaking, at the Vancouver IMATS on Saturday, July 23rd @ 2:45PM – 3:45PM, discussing ‘Beauty Makeup for the Digital Age’: In response to the prevailing (and misguided) wisdom of “fix it in Photoshop,” leading fashion and editorial artist Sonia Leal-Serafim will discuss how editorial make-up artists should work with photographers to minimize digital touch-ups, potentially saving clients thousands of dollars in post-production. Leal-Serafim will discuss how HD technology relates to beauty and print make-ups and why being a good hairstylist as well as a make-up artist is vital in today’s economy. Leal-Serafim will execute a beauty make-up and hair demonstration on stage during this discussion.
