iStockalypse – Global Photography Summit

A three-day stock photo convention is heading to Bondi. At iStockalypse, photographers from the iStock community meet up and discuss their ideas, collaborate, share knowledge and tips with each other, and inspire each other to continue to take images.

Byron Local and iStockalypse veteran David Freund says this is an important event for photographers so they can learn to take better images. They’ll be hanging around Bondi taking photos showing true Aussie culture.

“iStockalypses offer a massive opportunity for iStock contributors to learn what makes the top photographers tick and to take their imagery to the next level. We really do get to feed off each other at iStockalypses,” said Freund.

For example, David wants to expand his knowledge and get a better grip at producing and post-producing video stock imagery.

There will be over 60 professional photographers at the event coming in from all over the world, plus new contributors who are interested in becoming stock photographers for iStock.

The three-day event will include educating and shooting sessions, and on the final day attendees have the opportunity to shoot and portfolio their work they produced during the day.

Freund encourages Bondi locals to get involved if they see any photographers out and about to get them photographed in their local environment, work or home. All you need to do is sign a model release form. (AMal)
