Photo Forum Fest 2019 – forest studio and workshop with Niki Pandev and Canon
This year, the traditional Photo Forum Fest event (https://photo-forum.net/), which gathers professionals and photography enthusiasts every year, was held in Pamporovo from November 14-17. It offered a diverse program with current topics, many practical sessions, workshops, and lectures. Participants spent some of their time in the Dynaphos studio, with this year's focus being on mobility. In addition to a separate studio in the hotel, there was also one organized in the forest, which changed locations.
An interesting workshop, led by Niki Pandev, also took place in the studio, where Canon Bulgaria gave participants the opportunity to test the latest equipment. The new mirrorless cameras EOS R and EOS RP were available for testing with Canon's new RF lenses. The model was Melania Yaneva with her body art, and all participants had equipment and lighting at their disposal to take their shots.
