Sony Philippines, in partnership with Wedding & Portrait Photographers of the Philippines (WPPP), capped off the three-day Photo and Video congress 2018 held in Trinoma Mall. The event attendees were composed of novice, amateurs, and professional photographers and videographers.
Now on its 13th year, the WPP Photo and Video Congress aims to continuously elevate the industry’s standards of photography and videography; and to further foster and strengthen the camaraderie within this group of enthusiasts and professionals.
Various photography workshops, trade shows, photo exhibitions and demos were conducted for the participants. The attendees were presented with lectures and tips from the pros that helped them gather new insights when capturing photos and videos. There was also firsthand testing of camera model units specifically designed for this craft. Some of the Sony cameras highlighted were the ILCE-7RM3 (a7Riii) which is best for pre-nuptial shoots for its 42.4-megapixel photo quality and the Eye AF (Auto-Focus) performance, the ILCE-9 (a9) which is designed with 20fps shooting capabilities which may come in handy for shooting key moments on the wedding day itself and the ILCE-7SM2 (a7Sii) which is perfect for shooting wedding videos because of its high ISO sensitivity and video quality.
