Photography lovers can indulge next weekend in Expo Foto 2012, a FREE series of seminars geared toward the education of photographers.
The program appears for the second time in Costa Rica and includes photography exhibits and educational lectures and films from renowned national and international photographers. It will last from Oct. 26 to Oct. 28.
"With Expo Foto we are looking to develop photography in our country and create the opportunity for all photographers to share with domestic and overseas professionals," said Expo Foto producer Paulina Segura. “Furthermore, we want the public to enjoy a photographic exhibition and the trends of the photography market.”
The photographic display will feature 103 pictures from 58 different artists of nine countries. Judges chose the pictures based on the artists theme, technique and aesthetics.
Cuban photographer Roberto Salas will also have an exhibition of his contemporary works since 2007 on display during the entire seminar.
Seven different lectures will take place over the three days and organizers will play three films that show the role of photographers in the world.
Some notable photography presenters will be Guatemalan Iván Castro, Costa Rican and co-founder of Photo Media Express Jose Tenorio, Costa Rican and co-founder of Expo Foto Gustavo Valley and Costa Rican Mario Peraza.
Also, 20 companies will sell photographic equipment, printers, accessories and photographic services in commercial exhibits.
Everything will take place in Antigua Aduana in east San José and is FREE!
