In these two sessions with JMPC, Arttu is going to show us his work from clubs and from newspaper and tell what it is like to be a freelancer photographer. Apart from talking about this work, he will also give hands-on talk about the gear he uses in different situations. Along this line, he would also like to talk some basic things about flash and long shutter speed and how to combine them together in a way that looks good.

On 5.11, he will talk about news, sports and freelancer stuff.
