Accept the mission: challenge yourself with a photowalk at Newtown Festival
About the event
Join me at the Newtown Festival for a photowalk with a twist. You'll be given your own mission card with special instructions to photograph a specific subject, in a particular style, or with a composition type.
We will meet at 9:00am in the St Anne's Church carpark for a mission briefing. Participants will then venture into the Festival where they will have up to two hours to complete their secret assignment. We'll then regroup at 11:00am.
Photographers who successfully complete their mission will be encouraged to publish their top four images in the Sony Alpha New Zealand Facebook group.
There will be a Sony prize pack up for grabs during the photowalk, as well as spot prizes of coffee vouchers valid for our next Wellington coffee meetup.
