shootLDN has plenty for

photographers, stylists, artists and agents – anyone connected to photography could benefit

Calling all dedicated followers of photography. Put 8-9 October in your diary, because you’ll want to go to shootLDN. The Hasselblad organised event devotes two days to all things photographic. Offering seminars on building your brand, lighting demos and live shoots, shootLDN has plenty for photographers, stylists, artists and agents – anyone connected to photography could benefit. And the best news is, it’s all free. Simply register at the website, and turn up. Just get there in good time to bag a seminar seat. Seminars run throughout the two days and cover topics as diverse as The Rise of the Instant Photographer and Colour Management. There are Hasselblad-shooting, photographic royalty set to share their thoughts on photography, such as

landscaper Charlie Waite, portraitist Tom Oldham, dance shooterNicolaSelbyandarchitecturalspecialistSeanConboy. Among the manufacturers demonstrating their wares, and the ways they can improve your business, will be broncolor, EIZO and Metro Imaging, plus of course Hasselblad, whose CFV-50c will be in action. There will also be opportunities to get hands-on and try things out, including shooting fashion with a Hasselblad. Visitors will get the chance to shoot Professional Photo ’s front cover image. Try your hand at shooting the cover during the event and you could be selected for a shoot-out: the judges will invite just two photographers to a special cover shoot at a later date. The winner’s image will grace the front cover of issue 114. This year, the AoP Awards exhibition will run alongside shootLDN, in adjoining rooms at the Old Truman Brewery. The awards ceremony takes place on 8 October, at 6.30pm– a perfect social evening during the two-day shootLDN event. Tickets for the awards ceremony are available from the AoP. Also on display will be the Hasselblad Masters Finalists Exhibition. The icing on the cake, as two exhibitions, more demos and seminars than you can shake your ball head at, plus plenty of networking opportunities with fellow pros, adds up to the recipe for a perfect photographic feast, we think. See you there.
