AFA’11 Figurine Photography Workshop

As some of you might have already known, I will be holding two sessions 30 minute workshop at this weekend’s Anime Festival Asia to talk about figurine photography.

I understand that many folks are interested in figurine photography but their level of understanding for photography might vary. Hence, for this year, I will be covering different topics on the two days. On Saturday, I will share some tips on how to take good shots using a compact camera, while on Sunday, I will be touching on shooting with a DSLR.

Here’s the outline & schedule of the talk, which will be held at the Canon Cosplay Zone located in the Festival Halls:

Shooting with Compact Cameras (Saturday 11.30am -12 pm)
1. Why Compacts Cameras might be handy when shooting figurines
2. Getting good lighting for shooting figurines
3. How to compose your photos so they look more interesting
4. Injecting some creativity into your photos
5. Q&A

Shooting using DSLR (Sunday 2.15pm – 2.24pm)
1. Why I prefer shooting with a DSLR
2. Getting good lighting for shooting figurines
3. Basic composition tips
4. Advanced composition (injecting design elements)
5. Simple discussion on equipment
6. Q&A

I’m looking forward to seeing all my fellow comrades and meeting new friends at AFA’11. Hopefully those who are interested in figurine photography can attend my workshop as well ^^
