Nikon Owner (London Group) Event
Stories in Portraiture with Felix Kunze
Friday, June 21st, Kensingtonrooms Hotel

Michael Eletheriades, the organizer of the very popular Nikon Owner London Group, would like to invite you to the next Nikon Owner London meeting: ‘Stories in Portraiture’ by Felix Kunze. The event will be held on Friday, June 21st at Kensingtonrooms.

Felix is a portrait and lifestyle photographer. He divides his time between London and New York and has worked for luminaries in photography such as Annie Leibovitz and Mario Testino. His work has taken him to all corners of the world and has been shown in Vogue, British Vogue, Marie Claire, Life, Harpers Bazaar and many others. He is in demand at Music Festivals and Fashion Weeks across Europe and the US. His celebrity portraiture is syndicated by Contour Photos.

During the evening, Felix will talk about the lessons he has learned in portraiture through his work with Annie Leibovitz and will give you an insight into his assignments in Belize, Haiti, India, New York, Florida, LA and here in the UK. Felix will go beyond the basic meaning of ‘portrait’ to divulge stories, thoughts and experiences that will help everyone approach portraiture in a new light.

It promises to be a great evening! Space is limited to 50 seats, so please book your places early to avoid disappointment.
