With leading art photographers from Canada, China, USA, the UK, France, Belgium and Spain, as well as Germany, the congress will feature international speakers and artists. In addition to lectures and workshops revolving around the themes of LightArt photography, term exposure and light painting, which will take place on Friday and Saturday in the Congress Centre East, an international light painting screen exhibition and light painting photoBOX will be presented on the fair grounds.
