About the event
Join me for an evening at Piha for a live couples shoot, where we'll cover everything from gear selection, to interacting with couples, to looking for light, and working with whatever Mother Nature throws your way. We'll start with a chat about your gear, camera settings, and strategies I use to make the technical aspect of the shoot easy, so you can focus on composition and engaging with your couple.
Once we're all set, the couple will join us for a walk around the beach, where we'll go on a wee adventure and make some beautiful images - whatever the weather, whatever the light.
Along the way, we'll stop off at a few different locations. I'll break down why I've decided to stop and shoot, and we'll have free, unstructured Q&A as we go.
For both sessions, we'll use the following days as back-up if we get rained out.
