Get Set for a Creative Feast at TPS 2022
THE CLOCK IS TICKING, the days are flying by and very soon – on September 17 to be precise – the doors to The Photography Show and The Video Show will be flung open, heralding the start of four days of intense activity that no self-respecting professional will want to miss. There genuinely is something here for everyone, whether you’re an enthusiast, part-time pro or you earn your entire living from the creative arts. Even just to be on the trade floor and to feel the buzz generated by so much all-round positivity is guaranteed to get the adrenaline going and to serve as a boost to the inspiration levels.
It was so good to see the show return last year after a two-and-a-half year Covid-enforced absence, and it was a massive statement of intent at what was still a difficult time, and understandably was always going to be a very different experience to the event that took place in March 2019. While it was still a huge success, thankfully things have normalised still further since then, and the 2022 show will feature a trade floor that’s nearly twice the size of 2021, with a staggeringly diverse range of activities taking place.
So many of the industry big guns are going to be there, and it’s a chance to get hands-on with the very latest kit, to have a one-to-one demo and to make buying decisions on products you might only have read about up to now. Canon, for example, will be showcasing its ground-breaking EOS R7 and R10 models, two new hybrid mirrorless cameras that feature all the boundless advantages of an APS-C sensor.
The likes of Nikon, show co-sponsor Sony and OM System – the latter showing off its exciting new re-born OM-1 – will all be there, alongside Fujifilm with its superfast new X-System flagship the X-H2S, Rotolight showcasing its ground-breaking new AEOS 2 and NEO II fixtures and lens specialists Sigma, Tamron and Samyang presenting their full ranges of optical products for visitors to try out.
Meanwhile joint show sponsor Affinity will be demonstrating its suite of awardwinning and highly affordable software for creative professionals, comprising of Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher.
