Lens Experience: Auckland Street Session

A hands-on photography experience where you’ll test different focal lengths in real Auckland street environments and learn how each lens changes the way you see and capture your shots.

Instead of talking about photography theory, this session is all about learning by doing — shooting, moving, experimenting, and seeing your results in real time.

You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of how different focal length affects your images and what kind of photography naturally suits your style.

What this is:

A guided urban & street photography session where you’ll shoot with different lenses in real Auckland locations.

You’ll see how they affect:

• Composition
• Perspective
• Storytelling

How it works:

You’ll be split into small groups and rotate through different lenses during the session.

Each rotation includes a simple shooting challenge so you’re always actively taking photos, not waiting around.

What you’ll shoot:

Short, guided photo prompts like:

• Street moments
• Environmental scenes
• Portrait-style shots
• Wide vs tight compositions
• Compression and detail shots

Who it’s for:

• All levels of photographers
• Anyone curious about different focal lengths
