Three days of photography seminars, workshops, exhibits, and the annual judging of the Canon AIPP Australian Professional Photography Awards will take place this weekend at Sydney's Luna Park as part of The Digital Playground event.
The expo, hosted by the Imaging & Digital Entertainment Association (IDEA), includes six speakers per day in the 300-seat theatre and a compact exhibition area where the latest still and video imaging technologies will be demonstrated.
"The diverse range of imaging equipment within reach of photographers today has never before been so extensive,” says Robert Gatto, IDEA’s Vice President, Professional. “As with all tools, ownership of them does not by itself ensure professional-grade success so it is a welcome initiative to see a broadening out of learning and networking opportunities for what is the world’s most powerful visual communications medium – photography."
Exhibitors at the event include Canon, Nikon, Olympus, AsukaBook, Broncolor, Cambo, Canson Infinity, Capture One, Datacolor, Des, DXO, Eizo, Epson, Elinchrom, Induro, Joby, Kayell, L&P, Lastolite, Lexar, Lowepro, MeFoto, Macphun Software, Momento, Phase One, Profoto, Seldex, Sunstudios, Sunbounce and Tamron.
The Digital Playground is at Luna Park, Sydney, from 12-14 September, 2014. All exhibits are free and open to the public, however a 'nominal fee' applies to the speaker program. Check out the speakers' program here.
