Adorama Inspire, a photography conference in New York City, is back to give you a unique opportunity to learn more about visual storytelling from world-class industry professionals.
Over a course of 3 days, you can attend over 30 sessions, workshops, and panels that teach everything from how to light a face to creative and purposeful lens choice, as well as creating foley and making an indie film from start to finish.
If you're one who learns more by doing, you'll also be able to get hands-on instruction on how to use a wide variety of professional camera gear, shoot a performance of aerial acrobats, and take video walks around Manhattan with accomplished artists, like wedding photographer/videographer Andy To, photographer Erik Valind, and DP Mic-Anthony Hay.
And don't let the categorization fool you; Adorama Inspire isn't just for photographers. Almost every event applies to both photographers and filmmakers alike. And the final day of Inspire is actually dedicated to those who work with the moving image, offering events that teach you how to make an indie movie, color grade, how to find your voice as a filmmaker (which is taught by Morgan Cooper, by the way), and much more.
Adorama offers a taste of the exciting workshops you can attend while at Inspire:
