Canon is providing a range of free and ticketed experiences designed to help photographers of all levels capture better photos and videos of the light installations at this year’s Vivid Festival in Sydney.

“For the first time, we have introduced Low-Light Studio Workshops hosted by Canon Master photographers, Graham Monro, Daniel Linnet and Ryan Schembri, as well as Canon Collective Helicopter Tours. Designed for those looking to capture Sydney like few have ever done before, participants will able to capture the city using the EOS 1 DX Mark II equipped with a gyro for stability,” Giles said.
“Visitors should also lookout for the new Canon Memory Frame which is positioned opposite Bennelong Point, for a stunning portrait of Vivid Sydney 2016. Visitors can also join the discussion at Canon’s Vivid Ideas session, titled ‘The Lab -Unfocussed’, which challenges photographers to break the rules of photography to uncover new creative possibilities,” he added.
The company is also offering free low-light photography sessions with Canon Masters at the Canon HQ, including the camera equipment to use and all participants are able to leave with an A3 print of their work.
Giles also noted that response from visitors has surpassed the company’s expectations with many attendees commenting that their experience with us has been “life changing”.
“For many, the opportunity to shoot from a helicopter using the very best pro equipment or to be taught personally by a Master is an unforgettable experience in itself. For others the satisfaction of taking a shot that they couldn’t take the day before and then printing it to hang on the wall opens their eyes to a world of photographic possibilities and enjoyment that they just didn’t expect,” he concluded.
