Show preview
AFTER TAKING A break in 2023, The Photography & Video Show returns to its regular venue of Birmingham’s cavernous NEC over four days on 16-19 March. For many, this will be the first chance to get hands-on with the latest cameras, lenses and accessories, chatting to makers and suppliers face-to-face. Regular show deals provide yet another major incentive to visit, with the opportunity to potentially grab a bargain from the photographic retailers in attendance – or at least make a better- than-average saving. Who knows, whatever discount you get could essentially pay your rail fare, petrol money or hotel for the night. Best in show We gather key exhibitors, top photographic wares and major innovations you’ll want to check out at The Photography & Video Show this month WORDS BY GAVIN STOKER
Talks and showcases are also scheduled at regular intervals every day. Mixing things up for this year, talks with the biggest photographic names in the business are free to attend, leaving more to spend on the goods exhibitors will be showcasing. All this being said, money and time can only stretch so far. So which are the key attendees you should be seeking out, and what are their must-try products? To provide some steer, we share the following information. Meanwhile, to keep abreast of the latest updates, visit the address below. photographyshow.com

A new addition for 2024 is the Canon Creator panel, offering hints and tips on how to create visually compelling content, as well as interactive Q&As with its influencers. Practical advice for photographers will also be imparted via its Bite-Size Stage during the day. Steer will further be provided for achieving the best results from printers courtesy of free Canon Professional Print and Layout software, plus advice on which of its photo and fine art papers to use for optimum results. Highlighted here is the recent Canon ImagePROGRAF Pro-4600 printer and Lucia Pro II ink system. But that’s not all; visitors can also enter a prize draw to win a Canon EOS R6 Mark II and RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM lens worth £3000, as well as the opportunity to have their photos professionally printed. Plenty of reasons to visit Canon at the show!
