01/09/2016

Images as far as the eye can see photokina 2016 presents a large number of captivating photo exhibitions distributed throughout the entire fair grounds Under the umbrella PICTURES by photokina, the exhibitions extend from the impressive nature and animal photography of Jim Brandenburg (National Geographic) through the sophisitcated Handimals of Guido Daniele, the renowned photos of the Blende competition (Prophoto GmbH) to the moving photos selected by UNICEF 2015. PICTURES thus shows the life and work worlds of various continents, peoples and generations from many perspectives. Many exhibitions are the result of competitions for pros or hobby photographers. The Bride Photo Award is being presented for the first time at photokina.

Here an overview:

Blende 2016 - a visual journey of experience, Prophoto GmbH

Photographs from two years of Blende

Europes largest photo competition Blende receives more than 80,000 image submissions annually. The steadily growing popularity is proof of its great significance. The pictures entered by the Blende photographers are invaluable records of the period in which they were taken. In addition to this, they motivate other people to pick up a camera themselves and capture moments or situations themselves before they pass. For more than 40 years now, Blende has been demonstrating the pure passion and devotion of the participating amateur photographers with its pictures. Their images will also enrich photokina in 2016.

The winners will be honoured at the trade fair on 23.09.2016. Wedding photography is the supreme discipline in the field of photography. The demands of the wedding couple are high and the photographer has to make the most of the situation. The Bride Photo Award is initiated by Brautmedia GmbH, the publisher of the Braut & Br utigam (Bride & Bridegroom) magazine.
