NiSi Optics Rep Jim Reisman
Important Notes:
This is a free class, but registration is encouraged.
Join us for an eye-opening exploration of how neutral density and polarizing filters remain essential tools in modern photography. In this engaging presentation, Jim Reisman from NiSi Optics USA will demonstrate how these filters help photographers master exposure, achieve stunning long-exposure shots, and create images with unparalleled vibrance—effects that simply can’t be replicated in post-processing.
But ND and polarizers are just the beginning. We’ll also touch on the creative impact of special effects filters, such as Black Mist and other filters. How they can add cinematic depth, soften highlights, and enhance atmosphere in a way that software alone cannot achieve.
With so many filter options and mounting systems available, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. This session will also break down the different filter systems—magnetic, screw-in, and square—to help you determine what best suits your photography style and workflow.
Whether you’re looking to enhance landscapes, portraits, or cinematic visuals, filters remain an essential tool for photographers at all levels. This presentation will provide both technical insight and creative inspiration to help you make the most of these powerful tools.
