Summer is finally here, and the weather has never been better for a sun-soaked photo shoot in Brooklyn’s beautiful Prospect Park.

Join representatives from Focus Camera and ZEISS, and celebrated professional photographer Kenneth Hines, Jr. for a scenic photowalk through the park on a warm, summer evening.

You’ll have the opportunity to try out the latest gear from ZEISS while photographing live models as the sun begins to set over Prospect Park.

With special discounts, free swag, and Q&A time with our brand professionals, this event promises to be a rich learning experience for photographers looking to hone their portrait and landscape photography skills and try out some new gear.
