Unlock the Secrets of the Night Sky – From Capture to Edit – With Your OM SYSTEM Camera
Join award-winning photographer and OM SYSTEM Ambassador Matt Suess for a captivating virtual workshop designed exclusively for OM SYSTEM photographers. Over four dynamic Zoom sessions, you’ll learn how to master the art of night sky photography—including the Milky Way, star trails, and even the elusive Aurora Borealis.
Have you ever looked up at a clear night sky and wished you knew how to capture its breathtaking beauty with your camera? This virtual workshop is your chance to finally do just that—guided step-by-step by OM SYSTEM Ambassador and professional photographer Matt Suess. Designed exclusively for OM SYSTEM users, this live 4-session online experience will show you how to photograph the Milky Way, create mesmerizing star trails, and even chase down aurora shots—no travel required.
Over the course of four interactive Zoom sessions, Matt will share the exact methods he uses in the field, including how to get the most out of powerful OM SYSTEM features like Starry Sky AF and Live Composite. You’ll not only learn how to plan and shoot incredible night sky images, but you’ll also discover the editing techniques that bring those photos to life using programs like Lightroom, Photoshop, and more. Everything is tailored specifically for OM SYSTEM cameras.
The workshop is perfectly timed around the new moon in late June, so you’ll have the ideal dark skies to practice what you learn right in the middle of this virtual workshop. After two instruction-filled sessions on June 17 and 20, you’ll have a week to go out and shoot on your own—then return for two follow-up sessions, including a full editing walkthrough on July 1 and a final image critique and Q&A on July 8. It’s the perfect balance of learning, doing, and refining—with personal feedback every step of the way.
Enrollment is just $247 for the entire experience, including all four live sessions, access to the replays, and direct critique from Matt himself.
Whether you're new to night photography or looking to elevate your skills using the tools your OM SYSTEM camera was made for, this workshop will inspire, educate, and deliver results you’ll be proud to print and share.
But space is limited—so don’t wait too long to claim your spot under the stars.
