About this Event
Join Bobbi Lane and Lee Varis for an in-depth presentation on capturing compelling portraits and vibrant street scenes using Fujifilm's lens lineup — covering focal length selection, aperture choices for environmental portraits, and techniques for building authentic connections with subjects.
From there, the group will head out to the streets for a hands-on PhotoWalk through the neighborhoods surrounding Adorama in the heart of Manhattan, where you'll put theory into practice by photographing the rich mix of people and urban energy that make New York one of the world's great photography destinations. Whether you're new to Fujifilm glass or looking to deepen your eye for storytelling, this workshop offers both technical grounding and real-world creative experience. Afterwards take your chance with a raffle and gather for a group shot to share on social!
