OM SYSTEM Photography Retreats
Join us for intimate and immersive hands-on photography retreats featuring OM SYSTEM ambassadors and experts as retreat leaders. These events are designed to be educational but, they are also about camaraderie with fellow photographers & OM SYSTEM ambassadors. While sharp lenses, image stabilization and computational technologies are important, these retreats are about more than gear. They are also about inspiration and about creating images with story and impact as “It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera...they are made with the eye, heart, and head”…Henri Cartier Bresson
Various retreats will focus on a plethora of topics such as: Macro and Close-Up Nature Photography, Night Photography, Bird Photography, Nature Photography, Landscape Photography, Travel Photography, Creative Photography, Photography featuring computational technologies
