For those with an interest in photojournalism, documentary photography or newspaper photography, the News Photographers Association of Canada (NPAC) is presenting its annual Photojournalism Conference on May 8 to 9, 2015, in Vancouver, British Columbia.
This year’s keynote speaker is photographer Eli Reed from Magnum Photos. Other speakers are Andrew Burton, John Moore and Darcy Padilla.
The two-day event also features a trade show, portfolio reviews, camera clinics by Canon, Nikon and Sony, and the annual National Pictures of the Year Awards gala.
The conference is a wonderful opportunity to meet and talk shop with others in the business. For photojournalism students, this should be a must-attend event not only for the guest speakers but also for the portfolio reviews and career advice.
This is the only conference of its kind in Canada. NPAC is non-profit and volunteer-run.
