Photokina is the largest photographic event in Europe and is held every two years in Cologne, Germany. Canon is presenting the entire new Fall 2010 collection, and this will be for many visitors their first chance to try products that Canon recently launched, including: EOS 60D, which offers for the first time a swiveling LCD; EF 8-15mm f/4 L USM the first fisheye zoom in the world; the latest EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM, aimed at being an affordable 'L'-grade telephoto lens; new versions of two professional telephoto lenses, EF 300mm f/2.8 L IS II USM and the EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM both featuring completely new optical designs. Honestly I expected a lot more news and innovations for a brand such as Canon, I hope for more developments in the near future!
Richard Avedon (1923-2004), one of the greatest photographers of all time, was the man that brought fashion photography to life. He depicted his models as real women and he focused his interest on how to capture the personality and soul of his subjects. During my last holidays I had the luck to visit his lively fashion images at Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston, Mass. New photo of the month on my website is my personal tribute.
