How Mirrorless Photography and LED lighting are Changing the Way the Professional Photographer Shoots

Jason Lanier

Join mirrorless photographer and Sony Artisan of Imagery Jason Lanier for an in depth look at how mirrorless cameras are changing the way professional photographers work in the industry today. Once seen as just another fad, or too small or insufficient to be taken seriously by the professional photography community, mirrorless cameras have grown into a substantial part of the marketplace as more and more professionals are switching. Currently the mirrorless camera market is the only growing segment of cameras in the world today and with good reason....mirrorless cameras offer technology and advantages that many DSLR counterparts don't.

This isn't a pitch on what you should buy, this is an in depth look at how mirrorless cameras are changing the marketplace and why more and more pros are switching or at least considering it for the first time in their careers.  Mirrorless cameras are the first big innovation shift in the photography industry since digital replaced film.

This presentation will also look at the growing trend of still photographers using LED lighting to create stunning imagery. LED lighting has been a staple piece of gear for videographers for decades, but more and more still photographers are now using LED lighting as a replacement or add on to their flashes or strobes due to the recent innovations in LED lighting that make them more powerful, adaptable and portable than ever before.

This presentation will be sponsored by Sony and Rotolight and there will be some sample cameras and lights available for the group to look at for portions of the presentation. Jason will also shoot tethered for a portion of the shoot to show the group the options available to them when using mirrorless cameras and LED lighting.
