Day 3 | Nikon Tour Dallas | NIKKOR Z Lens Day
Join us in Deep Ellum for free photography workshops! Pick the session that best fits your schedule.
Take your photography further with an advanced hands-on workshop set throughout charismatic Deep Ellum.
Join Danny Batista for a free session designed for experienced photographers looking to refine their creative approach and get more from their gear. Explore advanced techniques for working with natural light, composing impactful images, and using lenses intentionally to shape perspective, depth, and visual storytelling.
Set against a vibrant city backdrop, participants will photograph architecture, models, and art while experimenting with focal lengths and creative techniques. Danny will also share insights on lens selection and camera settings to create more intentional images in the field.
You'll have the opportunity to shoot with Nikon Z5II, Z6III, and Z8 cameras, paired with an extensive selection of 15+ different lenses available for hands-on trial. Compare focal lengths, test specialty lenses, and discover how different optics can dramatically influence the look and feel of your photographs. Whether you're interested in portraiture, equine photography, landscapes, or visual storytelling, this workshop will help you expand your technical skills and creative vision while making the most of the character and architecture of the city.
