Practical Tripod Workshop Seminar That Makes a Difference in Professional Settings – Presented by Manfrotto

With the rise of online shopping and diversified social media content, the demands for speed and quality in photo and video production continue to grow.

In this context, 'tripod work'—the foundation of shooting—has become a crucial factor that significantly impacts not only the quality of the final output but also on-site operational efficiency (workflow).

This time, we are honored to welcome Akihiko Nagumo, Chief Photographer at TOPPAN Inc.'s Creative Department, a leading professional who also teaches at Tama Art University and Nagaoka Institute of Design.

The seminar will use real-world case studies of the latest equipment, 'Manfrotto ONE,' to explain in detail how it differs from traditional gear and how its adoption can improve on-site workflows.

Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on experience sessions using a simple product photography setup available on-site, as well as a Q&A session to directly ask questions to the instructor.

This event is ideal for:

- Professionals wanting to learn how top photographers use tripods on set

- Creators aiming to improve shooting efficiency and quality through new equipment

- Anyone interested in testing the handling and stability of the 'Manfrotto ONE' in person

Whether you're a professional photographer or looking to take your skills to the next level, we welcome your participation.

※ On the day of the event, Manfrotto outlet items will also be specially available at the venue. Don’t miss this opportunity.
