Through its “Golden Photography” Workshop, OPPO seeks to provide people digital empowerment.

Through its senior-only smartphone photography course, which is based on the company’s philosophy of “Technology for Mankind, Kindness for the World,” OPPO makes sure that no one is left behind when it comes to digital empowerment and technical know-how.

Held in partnership with Universiti Sains Malaysia’s Bengkel Teknologi Senior, OPPO provided a group of 19 senior citizens with the opportunity to upskill and pursue creativity through the smartphone photography masterclass which included modules of shooting true-to-life portraits as well as bokeh photographs using the OPPO Reno10 Pro+ smartphone. 

“We firmly believe that everyone has boundless potential and creativity when given the right tools and opportunities and we are hoping to unearth this skillset amongst the senior citizens, who are often left behind in an increasingly digital world. Through the OPPO Reno10 Pro+, the senior citizen generation can develop their interest in photography which will allow them to snap precious moments with their family and friends,” said OPPO’s Marketing Manager, Monica Qin. 

The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ takes ultra-clear pictures in any and every situation, all thanks to the help of its industry-leading flagship camera system, enabling the senior citizens to capture natural and intimate portraits with their family and friends without having to compromise on quality.

Capturing the essence of portrait photography, the senior citizens were able to snap precious moments using the OPPO Reno10 Pro+’s 64MP telephoto portrait and Pro Portrait Mode which greatly enhanced the portrait-taking experience. 

For Wan Farhah, age 61, the workshop masterclass is one way she is able to explore boundless creativity and pursue a hobby and interest that is near and dear to her. 

“The OPPO Golden Photography workshop gave us a good understanding on how to use the telephoto portrait camera on our smartphones. I had so much fun, especially during the walkabout tour that I wished the session was a little longer. I will be on a lookout on for the next workshop and this time, hopefully we would also be able to learn about landscape photography and other aspects of photography since my husband and I like to travel and take pictures of the scenery and the diverse cultures.” said Wan Farhah. 

Through its OPPO Golden Photography workshop, OPPO solidifies its role as a technological frontrunner and continuously reinforces its dedication to creating experiences that bridge generations through innovation. The workshop underscores OPPO’s unwavering commitment to ensure that every individual, regardless of age, is inspired to harness the power of technology and innovation to unlock their fullest potential, one portrait photo at a time.

“The thing about senior citizens is that as we grow older, we feel ourselves becoming increasingly irrelevant, so when companies like OPPO conduct programmes like these, it draws us back in and we feel worthy and energized. We believe we are still capable of learning new things, and this is an eureka moment for us. I’m impressed with the level of openness to share and the hands-on sessions OPPO has put together for us. Engaging us senior citizens is a good initiative from OPPO and I hope there is continuity to such programs, as it helps keep us seniors updated in the increasingly digitalised world,” said Raveendran Subramaniam, age 72.

In line with its ambition to digitally equip senior citizens, OPPO offered participants of the workshop with a smartphone voucher worth RM66, in conjunction with the 66th National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations.
