What a great day! We had an incredible time teaming up with Leica for this hands-on workshop at Nelson Photo & Video, where attendees got to learn about the new Leica SL3-P with Leica Ambassador Stephen Vanasco before putting it to the test at a local skatepark. From photographing skaters in action to trying out the latest Leica SL cameras and lenses, it was a fun afternoon filled with creativity and real-world shooting.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the event such a success. If you missed it, be sure to sign up for the Nelson Photo & Video newsletter and follow us on social media so you’ll be the first to hear about future workshops, special events, product launches, and other exciting opportunities.
