If you're looking for an action-packed photography workshop tailored to capturing fast-moving subjects like skateboarders and BMX riders, then look no further than our upcoming event, Freeze the Chaos: Action Photography with Laowa! Hosted by PHOTONews Canada photographer Will Prentice, this isn’t your typical sit-and-listen event. You’ll be actively engaging with live-action subjects, fine-tuning your skills in real time as skateboarders and BMX riders create the perfect blend of movement and energy to inspire your shots. With Will leading the way, you’ll get up close to the action while experimenting with unique Laowa glass that will elevate your photography game. Feel the thrill as you refine your timing, anticipate the peak moments, and snap images that freeze the chaos with sharp, impactful clarity.
Get ready to dive into an evening filled with action, creativity, and hands-on discovery! What truly sets this event apart is the chance to get hands-on with a variety of Laowa lenses. From ultrawide and telephoto options to experimenting with tilt/shift lenses for a unique perspective, Laowa's lenses promise countless opportunities to push your skills further. Will Prentice will also explore how to balance and utilize different lighting techniques to elevate your shots, demonstrating the art of working with natural light as well as technical aspects of strobe lighting, including how to set up high-speed sync and achieve ultra-fast flash durations to freeze motion with precision. Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or just stepping into the world of motion-filled imagery, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and capture shots that make you do a double-take.
