Create Your Journey with Fujifilm: Travel Photography Basics

Join Fujifilm and Tommy Spencer for a talk on capturing travel moments in fresh, unexpected ways using Fujifilm Cameras and Optics.
About this Event

Join Camera West and Fujifilm for a two-part Talk and Photowalk built around one idea: the best travel photography isn't about the destination, it's about how you see it. Led by Tommy Spencer, Fujifilm Field Product Technical Expert, these sessions will help you document your travels and tell their stories in a way that holds people from the first frame to the last.

This experience will be broken into two compartments: The Talk on Friday July 10th from 4-6pm is an in-person session with Tommy at Camera West San Francisco, where he'll walk through his own work and the trips behind it, sharing the tips and the Fujifilm tools he uses to capture unique moments on the road. The Photowalk on the morning of July 11th begining at 10am takes you into the field to put those lessons into practice, with Tommy on hand for in-person guidance and GFX and X cameras and lenses available to borrow for the walk.

This is a complimentary event for anyone interested in learning more about travel photography who wants to explore Fujifilm cameras and optics and connect with other like-minded photographers. Come to whichever session works for your schedule. You're not obligated to do both.

Across both days, you'll see how photography deepens the way we connect with the places we go, and how Fujifilm cameras and lenses have shaped Tommy's travel work over the last six years. Whether you're working the busy streets of downtown San Francisco or somewhere far quieter, you'll learn to stay present in the moment and turn what you experience into images that carry your point of view.

Come ready to look at your next trip differently, with the skills to capture the moments that matter.
