EXPOSURE Photography Exhibition @ Orchard Central

Dear PPAS members,

We are participating in the EXPOSURE Photography Exhibition at Orchard Central for a month starting 21 Jan 2010.

As part of the soft launch for our PPAS Handbook, we are exhibiting a daily slideshow of the members’ portfolio works featured in our handbook, together with static displays by some of our advertisers. The PPAS will also be conducting a clinic this Saturday from 3pm – 4pm, right outside Ape Communications office at #B1-23/24, on the following topics:

• Introduction to PPAS
• Introduction to PPAS Handbook
• Introduction to the different areas of professional photography, eg. Wedding, architectural, journalistic, portrait, fashion, etc.
• What is it like to be a professional photographer
• What it takes to become a professional photographer
• Some general advice on starting a photography business
• Q&A to be answered by a panel of professional photographers from PPAS

So bring your friends and family along to browse the various exhibits there, and if you have friends who are interested in becoming a professional photographer, this is a good opportunity for them to get an insight into our industry. We look forward to seeing you there.

KL PHOTOAWARDS 2010 IS CALLING FOR ENTRIES

It's that time of the year again, and KL PHOTOAWARDS is once again calling for entries to its second Contemporary Photographic Portraiture Competition. Open to all international photographers, from amateurs to professionals alike, this year, the competition is WIDE OPEN! There will be no distinction between pros and non-pro photographers, simply because we found from the 2009 event that the non-pro standards were very high, with some extraordinary technical and conceptual images received.
