Brian
Amateur Photographer Student Roadshow 2024 - Cardiff
In partnership with Canon and Amateur Photographer magazine, the Photography department at University of South Wales (USW) will be hosting the Amateur Photographer Student Roadshow 2024 in Cardiff on Wednesday 30 October - a fringe event during this month’s Ffoto Cymru festival.
In addition to a full day’s schedule of very interesting guest speakers, the day will include Workshops, Canon equipment, portfolio reviews with Ffotogallery, and a very important drinks/networking session in the Student Bar from 4 - 6pm.
And… I’ll be there with the ever-expanding ‘BOX of ZINES’ - the Offline Journal collaboration with USW DocPhot that’s collecting self-published photozines by photographers in Wales. If you’d like to contribute a copy of your own photozine - come along on the day and I’ll be happy to add it to the box and it’s expanding collection!
I’ll also have a few copies of the new issue #013 of Offline Journal available to purchase at the event. See the link button below for full Programme info.
