Renowned Drone Photographer Elia Locardi Partners With DJI To Host Aerial Photography Workshop World Tour

Helping Photographers Master Drone Photography Both In The Field And In Post-Processing

NEW YORK, March 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- DJI, the world's leading maker of personal and professional drones, is partnering with internationally acclaimed professional travel photographer and videographer Elia Locardi to kick off the DJI Drone Photography Workshop world tour in Lisbon, Portugal in May 2017. Elia will take participants to some of the most beautiful and picturesque destinations in the world to experience this new and exciting photographic artform using DJI drones. 

In addition to learning how to master drone photography both in the field and in post-processing, the workshop will also include safe piloting techniques using DJI quadcopters. As the official sponsor, DJI will provide workshop participants with complimentary access and exclusive discounts to the latest drone and imaging technology.

"We are very excited about this program because it will allow more people to experience the joy of flight while discovering some of the hidden gems around the world," said Paul Moore, DJI's Creative Director. "Learning how to fly with DJI's aerial platforms has become much easier and intuitive, thanks to the on-board intelligence and safety features. Once users have mastered their flying skills, the natural progression is to perfect their camera work. The workshop is a great opportunity for participants to build on the fundamental techniques and open their eyes to a whole new world of creative possibilities."

The duration of each workshop is two and a half days, with the first one taking place in Lisbon, Portugal on May 19, followed by Menorca Island, Spain in June, Singapore in August, and U.S. and Switzerland in the latter half of 2017. Each workshop will be limited to a maximum of 12 participants, and registration will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.
