WILMINGTON, MA — Paul Oliver of Paul Oliver Photography in Wilmington expanded his skills by attending Imaging USA, the premier professional photographic convention in the United States. He joined thousands of industry professionals attending this event January 8-10, 2017 in San Antonio, Texas.
“This was my first time attending Imaging USA, says Oliver. It was a phenomenal experience. I participated in programs covering Business Marketing, Lighting, Photography Techniques, and Drone Technology, volunteered at the convention, attended the trade show, photographed the Alamo and the San Antonio Riverwalk, and ran in the PPA Charities Super Hero 5K Fun Run. I learned from the best of the best in the photography industry and had a great time.” Oliver hopes to attend next year’s Imaging USA in Nashville.
“Over the years, we have attended many conventions, but the highlight of each year was and still is attending Imaging USA,” adds PPA Chairman Michael Timmons, M.Photog.M.Artist.Cr., CPP, F-ASP. “The education everyone has access to here is nearly unlimited, from speaker after speaker presenting their messages, to when friends come together and share.”
Imaging USA is the longest-running international photographic convention, tradeshow and image exhibition in the world. The event dates back to 1869, when PPA began organizing its annual convention and trade show, ran by professional photographers for professional photographers.
More than 10,000 photography enthusiasts descended upon San Antonio for three days of photography education and inspiration as well as some exclusive photography-related shopping.
Highlights of this year’s event included the three-day Imaging Expo trade show, featuring more than 600 booths, giving photographers the opportunity to demo and purchase the latest products at deeply discounted and trade show-only prices. The event also hosted more than one hundred speeches, presentations and hands-on demonstrations by some of the most respected names in the industry. Photographers also found mentoring opportunities, portfolio reviews and 10,000+ photographers to network with and create career-spanning relationships—a real bonus for photographers, who typically work for themselves.
The photography learning and networking extravaganza helps photographers like Paul Oliver become better photographers and businesspeople, allowing them to better serve their clients in the process. For more information on Imaging USA visit ImagingUSA.org.
