In its 30th year, the annual PDN PhotoPlus Expo did not disappoint. This photography conference was packed with three days full of seminars, equipment retailers and photo labs, plus speakers at several booths in the expo hall. Canon, Sony, and Unique Photo were just some of the vendors with the busiest stages of presenters. Everything from retouching techniques to post-production workflows were presented by the industry’s most known and respected image makers. The next time I attend, hopefully I’ll get a chance to photograph more of New York City. With all of the back-to-back seminars, there was very little time to walk around the city in daylight. Here are some images I did manage to capture while in New York…
