Vivid! What an awesome time to be in
Sydney. Walking through the streets at night, being dazzled by lights on
buildings, in the harbour, on sculptures and seeing purpose-built light
installations scattered throughout parks and along streetscapes.
Last year, we opened our inaugural Creative
Space, where we hosted guest speakers, set off on free photo walks, ran
workshops and created a meeting space where photography enthusiasts could come
and learn, be inspired and be creative.
This year, we’re doing it again! Our venue
at 360 Kent St, is the perfect starting point for all the photo walks we have
organised. We’ve researched
and mapped out our routes to highlight the best locations - Martin Place, Circular Quay, Customs House, Museum of Sydney, and
Sydney Harbour and surrounds.
We’ve got our own DCW Guides as well as
experts from Fujifilm, Sony and Olympus that will help participants capture their
best shots during walking tours, giving one-on-one instruction on how to get the most out of
manual and creative settings on their camera.
In addition to experts from major brands,
we also have Andrew Hall, Fujifilm’s Ambassador, guiding a walk on Thursday 28
May. Andrew has over 25 years’ experience as a professional, award-winning
photographer. He photographs a range of genres including motorsport, landscapes
and portraiture. And we also have James Brickwood, one on Fairfax’s Photographers
guiding a walk on Saturday 6 June. James has been a staff photographer with The
Sydney Morning Herald since 2007.
Our photo walks are an amazing way to
learn, through hands-on, guided experience. We also have in-store ‘show and
tells’ at our Kent St store, with Fujifilm, Sony and Olympus, showcasing their
latest camera technologies. We’ll have a mini exhibition in our Kent St store
to showcase Andrew Hall’s work as well as images and bios from some of Fujifilm
Australia’s other Ambassadors. We will have extended trading hours and a hub
for recharging your camera batteries.
We love the Vivid Festival! It’s colourful,
it builds community and it’s a great platform to share photographic knowledge.
