A statement signed by Sonal Salvi made available to NewsRangers described Nikon Social as a unique set of events created to hone the skills of aspiring bloggers, Social Media influencers and online content creators themed around various topics like food, fashion, travel, fitness or beauty.
“Specially designed to be as intimate as they are informative each chapter is led by influencers who are at the fore front of online publishing and who help deliver heaps of information and knowledge both technical and soft skills to the aspiring participants,” the statement explained.
The statement further pointed out that Nikon and its users are guided by a common love for photography and such events allow a more direct interaction, both between and with the photographers.
“Such platforms for sharing ideas and expertise has become a Nikon trademark. In the Middle East and North Africa, its initiatives encourage young talent while providing them with a platform to gain exposure. Much like the events in Nigeria, this helps them become technically sound while allowing a rare chance to be taught by the best in the industry. In fact, Nikon has also undertaken activities at the school level in Nigeria to initiate the precocious talents to explore photography as a medium.
“The Nikon Photo and Video Summit was a veritable melting pot of creativity with masterclasses in photography and its many sub-genres. A shootout challenge was led by Brett Florens, a seasoned photographer with an exceptional flair for wedding photography. He led the participants in his workshop on ways to capture that once in a lifetime moment.
“With Nigeria’s ace fashion photographer at the helm, Kelechi’s workshop was the perfect way for those looking to capture the world of haute couture and beauty. He offered valuable advice on the technicalities and art of capturing iconic moments in fashion. As our environment evolves, so must our mediums of expression. With the rise of online influencers, the need to create quality visual content is crucial. Nikon school instructor Cesar Parroco had the rapt attention of the participants. He imparted valuable information on tricks of the trade and technical knowledge that is sure to catapult them to fame.
“The Summit was followed by the Nikon Social in Lagos with Brett Florens. Florens not only shared his invaluable insight into the professional sphere but also spoke on the importance of education in the photography industry. The event follows Nikon’s intensive program that allows online influencers to augment their visual content by creating images that perfectly complement their niche. The intimate workshop module has been designed to equip bloggers and online content creators with the requisites of the visual medium. The Nigeria chapter of the Nikon Social focused on exploring fashion photography in all its glamour. The three-hour masterclass used Nikon D3400 and D5600 as its primary tool of expression.”
