Join Hunt’s Photo Education and Canon for a hands-on event with Marina Williams, a renowned TikTok star and photographer. In these sessions, Marina will both discuss her successes and insights as a photographer and entrepreneur, then work with attendees in a hands-on practical experience.

The session will begin with a brief presentation by Marina about her experiences and insights. We will then have three separate model stations– pre-constructed on site by Marina and Canon– emphasizing her “color pop” style that all attendees will be able to cycle through and photograph over the course of the session. Each station will have a Canon or Hunt’s Photo Education representative present to assist with any questions.

These sessions are available to ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS, but it is sponsored by Canon! As such, we will also have Canon loaner gear available to test out!

Canon Creator Contest!

In addition to the event, attendees will have the opportunity to post up their best image to IG in an attempt to win our prize-oriented Canon Creator Contest. Details to be announced at the event!

Join us for a fun and unique experience!
