MELVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- DSLR, Mirrorless,
or point-and-shoot – Ansel Adams
once said, "The single most important component of a
camera is the 12 inches behind it."1 So much more
than a person who takes photographs, a photographer is a
storyteller – without words. At PhotoPlus Expo 2019, Canon
U.S.A., Inc. will showcase an
assembly of visual storytellers, experts in their respective
photographic genre who will provide insight, tools and knowledge on
a variety of topics. Some new faces, some familiar – all of them
exemplify the commitment Canon has shown as a leader in digital
imaging to catapulting the industry forward for the next
generation.
Canon Main Stage
A popular attraction for PhotoPlus
Expo attendees, the Canon Main Stage will host a plethora of
presentations and panel discussions from leading professional
imaging creators. Discussions such as "The Ultimate Choice" will
take on the challenge of choosing the right camera for the job.
Included on the panel will be current Canon Explorer of Light
Bob Davis, who first made waves in the photography community as
a newspaper photographer in Chicago and then segued his talents into
A-list celebrity weddings and events. Vanessa Joy, who will also be part of the
panel, is a top rated New
York/tristate luxury-wedding photographer who prides herself
on four key areas for her clients: her photographs, the albums she
creates, the experience she provides and the customer service her
clients receive.
In addition, presentations will take place on a variety of other
topics, including: "Powerful Landscapes" with Erin Babnik, "The Right Equipment for Surf
Photography" with Zak Noyle
and "When the Gear Matters Most" with Canon Explorer of Light
Stephanie Sinclair. A Pulitzer-Prize winning photojournalist,
Sinclair has dedicated her career to providing visual evidence of
the human rights challenges faced by women and girls around the
world. Through her charitable organization Too Young To Wed,
she has taken her mission a step further, using visual storytelling
to empower young girls escaping child marriage.
Live Shoots will also be available on the Canon Main Stage
highlighting different scenarios such as fashion, weddings and even
motorcycles. Sal Cincotta,
St. Louis based wedding and
portrait photographer and notable industry writer, author, educator
and publisher of Shutter Magazine will host a fashion live shoot
titled, "Creating Fashion Portraits Your Clients Will Love." A full
schedule of events on the Canon Main Stage is available here as
