"...Another Fantastic Convention..."

This year’s 10th Annual Convention has been described by many as a positive, uplifting and educational experience, with a mix of photographers and artists from all across the Globe, all gathered under one roof to enjoy the event. It had lively conversations and social experiences, linked together by the common International language of photography.

We have uploaded a selection of images from the event and you can browse them at:
