About the event
The Sony Alpha Test Drive is back for 2020! This is your chance to get hands on with all current Sony E-Mount Alpha cameras and lenses including the Alpha 7R IV, Alpha 9 II , 200-600mm G lens & 600mm G Master lens.
This session focuses on Outdoor Portrait Photography where you’ll have the opportunity to shoot two professional models at an outdoor location. As you explore the current Sony camera range, Sony’s Digital Imaging Specialists will be at your call to provide expert camera knowledge on a range of items including but not limited to; settings, functionality and operability.
Attendees will meet at a hotel location in each city. From there you will be given the opportunity to loan from an unmatched range of current Sony E-Mount cameras and lenses to test drive for the session. Once you have some gear in your hands, we’ll be making our way to another location on the Sony Bus. On arrival, you’ll have plenty of shooting time to get the most from the gear. Along for the ride will be a Sony Digital Imaging Advocate who will be able to guide your photographic style as needed. Once the session is over, we’ll get everyone back to the hotel to check in their loan gear.
This year we will be taking the Outdoor Portrait Photography Test Drive session to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
