Instructor Profile:
This workshop will be led by a Nikon Creator, Lucy Hamidzadeh. Lucy is a moment collector and a reader of people who is constantly observing the world around her, whether that is in her hometown, or when she is travelling to a new place. Forever curious, she is always wondering what the people she captures with her camera are experiencing, what emotions they are going through and the cultures they inhabit. The photos Lucy captures will always remain a mystery to her and anyone who views her work – and that’s the beauty of it. She wants for people to go beyond their senses, evoke emotion and inspire imagination, so that they too see the beauty and feel compelled to capture the moment, and to frame memories into visual existence. https://www.lucyhamidzadeh.com/
The workshop will last one hour. Please arrive at the Nikon Gallery 15 minutes before the start time. You’ll also have the chance to loan the latest Nikon products during this session, but please bring your own memory card.
