World leader in Perth
Rocco Ancora is the headline speaker and presenter at the Nikon Centennial WAPF Interclub Event at Government House ballroom from 23-25 June. The extremely talented and award-winning Melbourne-based professional is a Nikon Ambassador in demand internationally as an educator, judge and passionate advocate for photographic printing. This world leader in his field will provide invaluable insights into photographic skills and artistic expression. Rocco will be running sessions across the whole weekend program, starting with his photographic journey on the opening evening. His ‘capture to print’ session on Saturday will examine three major elements: your camera, your monitor and your printed image. Along the way you will explore colour management and different printing systems. His next session called ‘Tips and Tricks with Light: The Key to Emotion’ will outline all facets of light, including the ‘colour’ of light and how it affects emotional impact, as well as exposure, dipping into what Ansel Adams termed exposing for zones. At Rocco’s own request, he will now also include a live outdoor lighting shoot on the Saturday afternoon. On Sunday he will run a full-phase studio lighting clinic on stage in the Government House ballroom with live models. Rocco Ancora speaks regularly at events around the world . . . his generous time in Perth is a rare treat for all delegates to the 2017 interclub event.
