The Photography Show will bring all this experience and enthusiasm to life for the UKs growing audience of amateur photographers, with some of the biggest names in the industry unlocking the secrets of their craft. The show floor itself will be brimming with hundreds of exhibitors, the very latest kit and accessories, and an array of interactive opportunities to get involved. A full-spec studio suite will also be created on-site for visitors wanting to get hands-on in a professional environment, and themed areas including a Wildflower Garden will be specially created to ensure all subject interests are fully catered for. More activities will be announced in coming months, including details of a major gallery exhibition.
Futures Head of Photography Matthew Pierce says: The imaging industry is evolving at speed and we believe there is a real opportunity to create a dynamic and inclusive event with photography at its core which will deliver a broad audience of imaging enthusiasts. Future has a world-leading, multi-award-winning portfolio of photography brands and is recognised internationally for its innovation. The Photography Show will be another example of that.
The Photography Show will be supported by a major six-figure marketing campaign, including targeting Futures own leading technology brands T3 and TechRadar.com, which, as the UKs biggest tech review site, reaches over four million tech enthusiasts every month.
Futures Head of Events Jonny Sullens adds: The Photography Show is a great example of Future unlocking the potential of its market leading brands. I am really excited at the prospect of bringing such an innovative and exciting market to life over four days at the NEC.
The UK photographic industry has already reacted with enthusiastic support:
BPI News Publisher Clive Insley says: The launch of the Photography Show is great news for the entire imaging industry. A national UK photo show in March at the NEC is the vital springboard needed by the trade to launch the latest products and services to thousands of their customers. For professional photographers and enthusiasts its the focal point for everything photographic under one roof at the right venue and at the right time of year.
Royal Photographic Society Director General Dr Michael Pritchard adds: The RPS is delighted that Future has launched the Photography Show at the NEC as the industry needs an annual showcase to promote itself. Future has some ambitious plans and the RPS will be supporting them.
Adobe Principal Solutions Consultant Richard Curtis says: The UK photographic market is an important part of the creative industries, so its good news that Future has stepped in to lead a replacement for the already successful Focus on Imaging show at the NEC.
The Flash Centre Managing Director Chris Whittle adds: Focus on Imaging was the right show, in the right place and at the right time so we are pleased that Future has launched The Photography Show at the NEC in March 2014.
PMA Director of UK Activities Nigel McNaught adds: The photo industry needs a showcase for its products and services and I am delighted to learn that the new event from Future will be very hands on combining demonstrations with education sessions. PMA is pleased to support this initiative.
