Come see Rick Sammon, Lindsay Adler, Neil Van Niekerk, and more at PhotoPlus

By Mike Zawadzki, Technical Consultant 

As I mentioned yesterday, Unique Photo will be at booth 713 at PhotoPlus.  I will be there, but that's not why you want to come!  I wasn't sure exactly who would be joining us as guest speakers, but today I received confirmation that Rick Sammon, Lindsay Adler, Neil Van Niekerk, and some others soon to be announced will be with Unique Photo at the PDN PhotoPlus Expo in New York City at the Jacob K. Javits Center from October 28-30, 2010.  All of  these great speakers are working professional photographers with valuable information to share!

There is no prior registration required and their presentations will be free.  The schedule of when each photographer will be speaking is still pending, but just come swing by booth 713 to take a break from the chaos of the PhotoPlus show!  Here are a few short bios of our speakers and links to their pages.

Neil Van Niekerk (in his own words) -"Weddings and portraits comprise the majority of my work, but I also present workshops and seminars on aspects of digital photography and lighting. I've also had my photography work and writing published."

"I love photography for a variety of reasons. The stimulation and excitement of responding to new situations satisfies both my analytical and creative sides, and I also truly love working with people. I get real pleasure from sharing the happiness with the people that I photograph, and knowing that I'm creating images that will evoke wonderful memories for a lifetime."
