“Living with the Tsaans in Mongolia”
by Céline Jentzsch
To unite the art of travel and travel in photographic art
is her motto. Traveling the world with a camera as a
faithful companion allows her to “unite” the people she
meets with those who look at her photographs. She
won first prize in Memorial Maria Luisa International
Contest (Spain, Man in the Mountain / Nature 2015),
and a gold medal in Trierenberg Super Circuit Contest
(Austria, “Photo and Travel” category). She was also
awarded a silver medal in the Oasis Photo Contest
(Italy, “People and populations” category).
Since 2013, when he has time, the 33-year-old
photographer and musician spends several
months taking pictures in and around the town
he lives in using a noteworthy manner while
elaborating his own style. He uses lighting and
geography in a city to compose complex images.
Having taught himself photography, he says he
is not an expert. Through the Internet, he
communicates with artists and street
photographers to refine his own skills alongside
pursuing his business career.

【Lesson in Deploying】Don’t Fear Shooting with SLRs!“By shooting scenario / I need this feature!”
Hiroshi Shikano (photographer)
11:00-12:30
Ten years have passed since a regular SLR camera obtained the ability to take video. This feature has matured in terms of both function and performance, while photographers that are taking videos often wonder: “In what ways can I actually use this feature?” This seminar introduces you to different techniques, camera features, and performance for different shooting situations, such as interviews, office room scenarios, on the stage, in slow motion, and time lapse.

【Lesson in Using】Simple & Speedy: Final Cut Pro X: Opening You Up to the World of SLR Video
Kazuhiko Saika (Prof., Faculty of Media Information, Surugadai Univ.)
13:15-14:45
If you ever thought, “I was asked not only to shoot but also edit an SLR video, but I don’ t know how to do that...” then Final Cut Pro X is for you. Even without expert knowledge, you can produce full-fledged videos via intuitive operations. This session guides you through basic operations and concepts, effects, transitions, color adjustment, and even linkage with Photoshop.
【Lesson in Trends】Trying a Cinematic, Theatrical-style Lens for Your SLR Videos
Takashi Chiba (Cinematographer, digital image technician)
15:30-17:00
One of the advantages of SLR videos is the availability of a variety of lenses for SLR still cameras. These days, more and more cinematic lenses are targeting video shooting. A cinematic lens’ slow and accurate focus point change enables cinematic expressions withsoft contrast. Takashi Chiba, who has experience in the direction of TV commercials, guides you on how to effectively use a cinematic lens, and explains the difference between SLR still lenses and cinematic lenses, with a lens engineer as a guest speaker.
【Lesson in Deploying】Information Session with a Leading Videographer to Relay How to Choose Video Devices for the Future to Come
Yusuke Suzuki (videographer)
11:00-12:30
Video devices have significantly increased in use in recent years; but don’t you feel like you’ve “seen it all before” because everyone seems to have the same device, more or less? To focus on the expression of your own character and expertise, you need to choose devices based on what world you want to show, including the colors (grading) and tones. Yusuke Suzuki, a leading videographer, trains you on how to choose devices for the future.
Mar 2 (Fri)
【Lesson in Using】How to Improve Your SLR Videos by Adjusting Sounds
Atsushi Osuga (videographer, musician)
13:15-14:45
Focus on “sound” to improve your cinema work. In addition to improving on recorders and sound quality, it is also important to adjust balance by removing noise and changing flow. In addition, your work will become even better by making the most important voice—the human voice—easier to hear. This session introduces you to the fundamental techniques of sound balancing, focusing on Premier Pro.
【Lesson in Trends】How a Photographer Can Start using Drones
Hideyuki Motegi (photographer)
15:30-17:00
More and more projects that photographers engage in these days involving the shooting of video, while at the same time, aerial shooting via drones is becoming widespread these days.

PRESS RELEASE
The marketing seminar is presented by the CIPA and provides statistics information about digital cameras and interchangeable lenses, along with GfK, which networks worldwide research sites. Starting from the CIPA’s statistics and GfK “GLOBAL,” this analysis covers the “U.S.” “China,” and “Japan.” The “U.S.” session is presented by the NPD, a researcher of U.S. markets. The analysis of Asian markets, getting more important both for the CIPA and GfK, is divided into “China” and “Japan.” With a limited time window, each region is covered every two years. If you are interested in these regions, please feel free to join the CP+ seminars.
1. The Evolving Photographer 10:30-11:10Ed Lee (group director, Worldwide Consumer and Professional Imaging Services)
Almost everyone has access to a camera or smartphone and taking a photo is easy. The role that photography plays in each person’s life is different. Casual picture-takers are happy using their smartphones. More serious photographers still rely on their digital cameras. This session will look at the evolution of the different types of photographers and highlight potential areas of opportunities.
2. Consumer Imaging in the 360-Degree World 11:10-11:40Alan Bullock (associate director, Connected Imaging Trends Service)
Virtual and Augmented Reality give consumers new ways to experience content ranging from entertainment and games to sightseeing and workplace tasks. Cameras with a 180- or 360-degree field of view allow consumers to capture their own immersive content, but what happens after that? This presentation looks at the latest devices and services, as well as opportunities and challenges that they present.
3. The Role of Printing & Output in Today’s Photography Market 11:40-12:10David Haueter (associate director, Photo Printing Trends Service)
Digital photography changed the photo print market substantially from the days of film and a similar change is taking place again as smartphones are largely displacing digital cameras. Despite all the changes that the photography market has gone through and the challenges they represent, there are still many opportunities for success in the photo print market. This session will review how market dynamics are shaping the photo print and output market as well as discuss ways to raise the value and awareness of print.

“Photographs That We Want to Pass Down to
Our Descendants”
Japan Professional Photographers Society (JPS) Presents
Photography, invented in the 19th century, made a quantum leap in the 20th century, and has left a wide variety of memories since then. In the “Photographs That We Want to Pass Down to Our Descendants” exhibition at Minato Mirai Gallery, Koutaro Iizawa, a photography critic, and Norihiko Matsumoto, a photographer, will plainly explain the backgrounds of the pictures, the messages they relay, and the significant value left to us by these photographs. They will also discuss technical information so that you can keep your own pictures for posterity.

From the approx. 300,000 photographic negatives that the Japan Photography Archiving Center retains, we developed a set of pictures ranging from 1920 to 1970. Among them, we selected about 100 pictures, including documentary pictures from Younosuke Natori, Ihei Kimura, Yoshio Watanabe, and contemporary photographers, along with pictures showing Japanese cultural properties and pictures that recorded the lives of everyday Japanese. Enjoy the modern history of Japan through these rare photographs.
