Fine art photographers filled the slots in Sony Artisan Thibault Roland’s long exposure workshop where he shared his signature strategy for capturing beautifully polished images.

Alpha Collective member Paola Franqui teamed up with Sony Artisan Nino Rakichevich to lead an enormously popular street photography excursion where they offered their top tips for building confidence while working with strangers and capturing the stories of a place and the people who make it their home.

World-class landscape photographers and Sony Artisans Gary Hart and Don Smith lead groups of early risers on an epic sunrise excursion along the magnificent coast of Big Sur.
