Photo 24 Join us for an action-packed day in the capital. Now in its sixth year, Photo 24, sponsored by Fujifilm, is literally 24 hours of photography around the streets of London, plus there will be contests, photo walks and free camera loans
This year’s Photo 24 kicks off at 3pm on 29 June and you can be part of the free event if you get your application in before the 12 April deadline. However, if this is the first you have heard of Photo 24 and that deadline has passed, we will keep applications open for the reserve list until the final date of 20 April. The simple reason for this is that not everyone who gets offered a place will accept it. So if a successful applicant turns down their place, that place will be offered, firstly to readers who met the original 12 April deadline and after that to those on the reserve list. Photo 24 is a free event in terms of cost, but also in terms of what you choose to shoot on it and how long you stay. Many participants endeavour to keep going and shoot for the duration of the event, while others may do a few hours on the Friday and then a few more on the Saturday, and yet others will attend for just a couple of hours. The choice is yours. The event is sponsored by Fujifilm and participants will have the option of a free Fujifilm X Series camera loan for the day. If you have limited knowledge of the capital or you need advice about street shooting, we will also have photo walks around the
“All tools are extensions of the human body and the camera, in whatever form, be it a smartphone or a DSLR, is an extension of the eye andmind." So says a new book, Zen Camera , which seeks to guide photographers into a daily practice of improving creative skills by drawing on mindfulness and Zen Buddhism. The author, David Ulrich, has taught photography for 40 years, and this is encapsulated in six profound lessons for developing self-expression. Zen Camera encourages you to build a visual practice called your ‘Daily Record’ in which photography can become a path of self-discovery; rather then being distracted by technology, the aim is to gain an insight into the nature of seeing, art and attention. Spanning 224 pages and beautifully illustrated with 83 photographs, Zen Camera is available now for £18.99.
streets of London led by expert Fujifilm X-Photographers who will be on hand to help anyone who needs it. London offers endless photo opportunities and we plan to add a couple more including a flash studio set-up where you can try for yourself the magnificent Fujifilm GFX 50S medium- format camera. And if you fancy a creative challenge there’ll also be photo contests with valuable Fujifilm prizes to be won. All in all, Photo 24 is a great fun day of photography so go to our website, fill in the application and we may see you on the day.
