In addition to the Sigma Studio and Sigma overnight test-drives, attendees can learn about the brand new sd Quattro H mirrorless camera and enter the daily raffle to win one of Sigma's big ticket items - 24mm F1.4 DG HSM Art, 35mm F1.4 DG HSM Art or 50mm F1.4 DG HSM Art lenses.
Perfecting the Shot - Hear About It in the Sigma Theater
Sigma Pros Jen Rozenbaum, Jim Schmelzer and Judy Host will be sharing the latest tips and techniques in the Sigma Theater. Engaging presentation topics include empowering body positivity with boudoir photography, designing the perfect portrait with minimal equipment, using optics to add impact and convey emotion, and the importance of image composition.
