OM System Ambassador Emilie Talpin
  1. Come learn about refraction and water drop photography! In this program, OM SYSTEM Ambassador Emilie Talpin will immerse you in the world of water drop photography, also known as refraction. If you are not familiar with this term, refraction is when the light passes from one medium and into another, affecting the direction of the light. We will learn how to capture such images and go over the equipment needed, as well as techniques and tips to make a successful photo. Emilie will also discuss how this art form helps her develop macro and bird photography skills.

Join us for this fabulous look into a beautiful photographic technique!

About Emilie
Emilie Talpin is an OM SYSTEM ambassador who grew up in Chalon sur Sa?ne, France, the birthplace of Nic?phore Ni?pce and the first photograph. Despite this background, she got into photography late and, in 2018, joined a local camera club where she met a group of talented photographers and was inspired to dive deeper into the art of capturing moments in time. She attributes part of her success as a photographer to switching from heavy and cumbersome gear to a camera system that is lighter and more versatile. She bought the OMD Em1 Mark II, a wildlife and a macro lens, and has never looked back. She is particularly interested in macro photography, especially in the art of capturing water drop refraction.
