BOUNCEBACK ART FESTIVAL PHOTOGRAPHY
28/06/2021
BounceBack is a festival celebrating the creativity of young artists and performers over lockdown. It's largely a digital festival but on Saturday there was a day of live events at the Gulbenkian Theatre, several of the events were streamed live on YouTube.
The photography brief was to capture the events of the day, including the setting up and interaction between the people attending, inside the theatre and outside where other activities were going on, these included an art exhibition, live music by G Town talents plus other networking opportunities.
This was the first live music and arts event i've covered for a long time, due to the lockdown and restrictions. This was also a good test for the new Nikon mirrorless cameras, the speed of the autofocus was impressive, on reviews i'd seen a lot of comments about it not keeping up, I now from the track ays i'd covered recently that this wasn't the case, and in a theatre environment with mixed lighting the Z6II and Z7II were faultless.
