Over ten years ago, I recall a time where I would see a bunch of people carrying DSLRs around their necks, taking selfies with it, and just using it to capture day-to-day activities. It was a different time.
DSLRs still exist, some have been succeeded by mirrorless cameras. Simply because, they still have the superior capability in capturing images. The tools you need to edit them allow great freedom, allowing you full creativity.
Recently Henry’s Cameras hosted the Photo Fiesta 2024. It is an event that celebrates photography and visual storytelling. I understand there are barriers in getting into photography, and the Photo Fiesta offered interactive workshops that allowed enthusiasts to explore and better understand photography.
"We are thrilled with the overwhelming response to Henry's Cameras Photo Fiesta 2024," said Nicholson Ong, President at Henry's Cameras.
