About the event
Have you always wanted to capture photographs at night time but don't know where to start?
Join me in Auckland City as we go through the basics of night photography!
Learn how to properly expose your images, how to frame them, and also how to be more creative in an urban environment. You'll get the chance to photograph cityscapes, long exposures, and experiment with light painting.
Please Note: This workshop is solely focused on the BASICS of night photography. If you haven't photographed at night before this workshop is for you!
If the evening is unsuitable due to bad weather and the event is canceled by me, a full refund will be given.
