The art of storytelling with Canon’s Ambassadors

Pushing creative boundaries and championing visual storytelling, Canon’s globally renowned ambassadors will be on Canons’ Spotlight Stage, hosting a series of insightful and compelling talks and workshops throughout the four-day show. From adventures in the South Pacific with Ulla Lohmann, to Katya Mukhina’s experience shooting landscapes with the EOS R in Iceland, they will take visitors around the world with their unique stories. Join the Canon stand to hear ‘How to’ talks – whether it is finding out how to take the leap from stills to video or learn the best way to print vivid and attractive landscape images, the ambassadors have it covered.

Every step of the imaging journey

From capturing stunning images to printing and sharing them with friends and family, Canon supports users at every stage of their imaging journey. The full PIXMA and Pro Print range will also be in action to demonstrate how Canon’s world-class print technology and inks transform digital image libraries into high-quality prints. The imagePROGRAF series will show the impact and magic of printed images, in large scale, which can be viewed in the Print Gallery.

Canon Professional Services (CPS) will also be at photokina, ensuring professionals are equipment-ready to do their job, whatever the circumstances.
