About the event

Activewear Meets Fashion
featuring Aktibowear 

Join Sony Advocate Vienna Marie on July 22nd for a 1.5-hour creative workshop exploring the intersection of activewear and fashion. In collaboration with Australian athleisure brand Aktibowear, this session will spotlight bold styling, expressive posing, and movement-driven storytelling—all captured using natural light.

Perfect for beginner to mid-level photographers, you’ll learn how to direct with intention, work confidently with talent, and bring a brand’s energy to life through powerful portraiture and editorial framing.

 

This is your chance to refine your visual voice while shooting with purpose in a vibrant, fashion-forward setting.
