ZoomIn is your trusted platform for amazing quality photo gifts with award winning service.  Many of you have written in for help and advise on taking better pictures.  While there are many workshops designed for the professional photgrapher, there are not a lot of options for those who just want to shoot like one.  So if you just bought a new SLR or want to take better pictures with your trusted “point and shoot”, ZoomIn has a workshop series specially designed for you.

Ashima Narain, the award winning National Photo Editor of TimeOut Magazine is going to be our expert instructor and will lead us through the first series of ZoomIn Workshops.  These workshops are designed to take you from the basics of better photography to advanced tools and techniques to help you shoot like a professional.  The first workshop is in Mumbai (other cites coming soon)  and will be held at the Atria Mall on Sunday, the 16th of August.  More details and registration can be found here. 

As an added bonus, each participant gets a fascinating goodie bag with tons of free stuff from ZoomIn and our workshop partners.

  An event like Christmas at  Westside would not have been possible without the extensive support and incredible technology from our partners at Sony.  

The latest Sony instant printing technology is fantastic.  The new range of printers like the SnapLab UP-CR20L pictured here and the UP-DR200 all support Pro-Matte.  Pro-Matte is a technology where both Glossy and Matte prints are possible from the same paper – without having to change any media.  Moreover, the Pro Matte Finish technology adds the fingerprint-resistant quality, which makes it a great choice for portrait prints at our events. 

All this at incredible speed.  The CR20L can print a 4×6 in 8 seconds.  Unlike inkjet prints, "Print by Sony" Dye Sub technology produces prints that last a lifetime.  We are thrilled to be showcasing the SnapLab and DR-200 at our events.  More on this product line can be found at Sony’s website.

This Christmas, come to Westside with your family – to shop and do more. At select locations across the country, you can get a professionally-taken Christmas themed photo with your kids, family or friends — and Santa too. For just Rs. 75 you get a 6×8 instant print, poster calendar, and some very trendy ZoomIn gear.

Christmas at Westside is an experience for the entire family as there is something there for everyone.  Great shopping of course, but also fun activities for the kids like magic shows, hair braiding, tattoo artists, and pictures with Santa.

This event runs on December 20th, 21st, 24th and 25th.  The ZoomIn photo activity runs from Noon to 3 PM and from 6 PM to 9PM.  So come in this weekend to a Westside near you to celebrate Christmas with Santa and ZoomIn.
