The Sony Creative Space NYC is a three-day-long celebration of still and moving imagery and creativity that is free and open to the public.
Sony Creative Space NYC offers attendees a wide range of shooting opportunities (including multiple sets and models), workshops, photo walks, and more.
Attendees can also borrow cameras and lenses from the Alpha camera lineup, so they can spend time shooting with the latest Sony camera gear, get answers to technical questions from Sony Pro Support and get tips and tricks for the setup and use of Sony cameras.
