Freeze the Chaos: Action Photography with Laowa

This is where timing, light and instinct collide. You’ll learn how Will freezes fast-moving riders using both natural light and strobe – breaking down real-world techniques for high-speed sync, ultra-fast flash durations and dialing in sharp, dynamic frames when everything’s moving (including you).

Sponsored by Laowa, this demo event puts unique glass in your hands – from ultrawide to telephoto lenses, plus tilt/shift and macro options – so you can experiment with perspective, compression and creative distortion while shooting live action.

Expect motion, experimentation and a few “did I actually just get that shot?” moments.
