The Hasselblad Masters have arrived in London and PCL were fortunate enough to go and have a peek at the opening of the exhibition last night at theprintspace on Kingsland Road, East London.
On show were ten winners in ten different categories from the 2009 Awards. We enjoyed the graphic and poetic arial images by German Steven Zirwes! All photographs were printed by theprintspace and looked beautiful. So get yourselves down there and check it out. See www.theprintspace.co.uk/blog for more info.
Closing date for submissions for the 2010 Hasselblad Masters Awards is Dec 31st 2010!

PCL at Canon Pro Photo Solutions…
Photography Course London’s marketing and administration assistant Leela outside London’s Business Design Centre and filmmaker Philip Bloom having a giggle at his seminar.
The vibes were positive at this year’s Canon Pro Photo Solutions event. All focus was on creating stunning imagery through the medium of photography and film and guess what..Canon can provide everything you need. From high quality lenses for shooting in continuous light and time-lapse gadgets such as the Canon Timer Remote Controller, to HD video cameras and top of the range printers.
In the seminars, Kevin O’Connor, founder of the London Photographic Association pressed the importance of knowing how to market yourself in the digital age, and discussed his dedication to providing a professional online platform for photographers.
Dan Chung, Guardian photojournalist demonstrated his move into cinematic journalism which pushes the boundaries of traditional televisual reportage.. and quite obsessively always makes sure his kit fits ‘in one bag’! The popular filmmaker Philip Bloom raved about filming on a Canon camera ‘guerilla style’ and warned everyone that it’s not easy equipment to use and takes practice. Lastly, advertising photographer Clive Booth impressed all with his story of following his passion for photography by moving swiftly from graphic designer to shooting high end fashion and make up.
New work by PCL Tutor Simon Warren…

The new Canon EOS 60D…
Meet the new Canon EOS 60D! The picture above displays the 60D in comparison with the 550D (left) and the 7D (right).
‘With the 60D Canon has…focused on the enthusiast photographer looking to upgrade from their Rebel. As a result, it’s not the obvious continuation of the 30D – 40D – 50D pattern that its naming might suggest. Rather than being a direct upgrade replacement for the 50D, it’s perhaps better understood as a ‘Super Rebel.’ dpreview.com
