Golden Hour Street Photography with Daniel John
Join Melbourne local and Nikon Street photographer Daniel John for a 3-hour hands-on workshop dedicated to the art of Golden Hour Street Photography. As the afternoon light transforms the city, you’ll learn how to harness shadows, highlights, and composition to tell stronger visual stories.
Whether you’re new to street photography or looking to refine your technique, Daniel will guide you through practical approaches that help you see and capture the streets in new ways. Expect an engaging mix of instruction, demonstration, and shooting time - designed to sharpen both your technical skills and creative vision.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to try out the new Nikon Z5II, along with a selection of NIKKOR Z lenses ideal for street photography. A Nikon representative will be on hand to assist with gear loans and technical support throughout the workshop.
