Sony invites you to learn a little more about how to take incredible images through a series of workshops
As part of its partnership with the World Photography Awards, Sony is running a series of workshops at London’s Somerset House. Working with experienced names in the world of photography, the sessions have been developed to encourage everyone to get more out of their photography and take their skills to the next level.
