2018-05-02 / Comments Off

Despite the rain this morning, iconic supermodel and renowned photographer, Helena Christensen made a ‘surprise’ appearance at a Huawei P20 Pro masterclass on London’s Southbank. Christensen stopped by to treat five lucky competition winners to her photography tips and let them in on some of her techniques for capturing the best images with Huawei’s latest smartphone.

The masterclass was led by fashion and lifestyle photographer and Leica expert, Alex Lambrechts, who showcased how to take the perfect shot with the new Huawei P20 Pro and its revolutionary AI-powered Leica camera. Lambrechts demonstrated a range of the device’s best features including the selfie camera with 3D portrait lighting, the super slow-motion functionality, and the 5 x Hybrid Zoom to capture stunningly detailed shots of London’s architecture and skyline.

I have a Huawei P20 Pro and its advanced camera system, with the world’s first triple-lens Leica camera and 5x hybrid zoom, really does enable the photographer to capture highly detailed images.

Christensen recently partnered with Huawei to launch “See More” – her own collection of intimate gallery portraits, which capture three fascinating subjects. The images showcase the vivid colours and stunning detail of photography delivered through the Huawei P20 Pro.

Take a look at some of the images from the event this morning…
