Sony Takes Female Creators from Concept to Campaign at its Next Alpha Femme Workshop
(MENAFN- ruderfinn atteline) Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 9 November 2026 - Sony Middle East and Africa is set to host the next edition of its Alpha Femme workshop series on Sunday, 15 November, bringing together women who are passionate about photography and visual storytelling for a hands-on commercial photography workshop exploring the creative journey from concept to campaign.
Titled “The Art of Commercial Photography: From Concept to Campaig”,” the workshop will be led by Dubai-based commercial and advertising photographer Tejaswi Ghagada, who brings over eight years of industry experience. Taking place from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM at D9 Studio in Al Quoz, Dubai, the session will guide participants through the process of developing a commercial photography campaign, from interpreting a client brief and establishing a creative direction to preparing for a shoot and producing a cohesive set of campaign images.
Through live demonstrations, discussions and guided hands-on shooting sessions, participants will gain practical insights into the creative and technical decisions involved in commercial photography. The workshop will also offer attendees the opportunity to explore Sony's professional Alpha cameras and lenses, with a focus on the Alpha 7R series and the latest Sony Alpha a7R VI, while learning how to apply different techniques to their own creative work.
Since its launch in January 2025, Sony's Alpha Femme initiative has brought together female photographers, videographers, content creators and directors of photography (DOPs), including Sony ambassador Amani Al Shaali, supporting their creative and professional development. With eight workshops conducted and over 500 participants recorded to date, attendance has grown from an initial 35 participants to more than 50 per session, with workshops consistently reaching full capacity.
Through dedicated Communities of Interest (COIs) spanning commercial, portrait, wedding, landscape, events, fashion and wildlife photography, Alpha Femme offers specialised workshops tailored to the skills and creative challenges of each genre. Combining expert-led training, live demonstrations and hands-on experience with Sony's professional cameras and lenses, the sessions help participants develop practical skills, exchange knowledge and build connections with fellow creators.
Speaking about the initiative, Suchismita Bhattacharjee, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Digital Imaging, Sony Middle East and Africa, said, “So’y’s Alpha Femme has continued to grow since its introduction, bringing together women with different levels of experience and interests across photography and visual storytelling. Through these workshops, we want to provide female creators with opportunities to learn from industry professionals, experience Sony's imaging technology and develop their skills in a collaborative environment. The growing participation reflects the value of bringing creators together through shared learning, and we look forward to building on this community.”
The impact of Alpha Femme is also reflected in the experiences of its members, who have found opportunities to build confidence, explore their creativity, and learn from one another. Yasmine Mohamed Mohsen Ibrahim, a community member, shared how the initiative helped her trust her creative instincts, saying“ “I found my community before I chose my camera.”
