If you happen to be in the New York City this weekend, I recommend checking out PhotoPlus Expo at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. The annual all-things-photo conference running November 2 - 4 features 278 vendors from design / photography products to imaging services and everything in between in addition to three days of seminars by industry leaders.
Larger vendors such as Adobe, Apple, Canon and Nikon are pulling out all the stops with hourly demonstrations by top industry professionals. Yesterday I stopped at the Adobe booth to watch Seth Resnick demonstrate his digital asset management and workflow with Adobe Photoshop tools including Lightroom beta. I also got to play with the new toys being introduced by all the top camera brands and watch billboard size prints being printed on the spot.
On Thursday, I attended the keynote address with Tom Wujec who talked about what, he believes, the photography studio of 2020 will look like. His presentation featured several technologies that got a lot of audience reaction including 10-gigapixel cameras that produce 100-gigabyte images, 3D lenses that allow the photographer to specify the focus point after shooting and organically grown lenses. Wujec announced of Project 2020, a partnership with PDN to turn his vision into reality. Look for more information on the project and how to get engaged by offering feedback on PDNOnline.com
Other seminars focus on lighting, niche photography, digital workflow, marketing and business practices for photographers.
