Canon supports the next generation of filmmakers at Berlinale Talents 2014
London, UK, – Canon is continuing its support for budding filmmakers with the second year of its partnership with Berlinale Talents – a creative networking event for emerging film industry talent that is part of the Berlin International Film Festival. As Principal Partner of Berlinale Talents, Canon will present a number of master classes for over 300 promising talents in the film industry, featuring world-class workshops with cinematographers and the latest Canon equipment.

Taking place from February 8th-13th 2014, a series of workshops presented in partnership with Canon will offer filmmakers and industry professionals invaluable hints and tips that will help them tell their own stories. The workshops – entitled ‘Every Picture Tells a Story’ – will also provide insight into the latest developments in camera technology, with hands-on demonstrations that show how Canon products can assist production. Speakers involved in the workshops this year include distinguished cinematographers Franz Lustig (How I Live Now), Stefan Ciupek (Slumdog Millionaire), and Christopher Doyle (In The Mood For Love).
Canon will also be supporting various master classes which will see renowned Directors of Photography, including Agnès Godard, talk about their experiences and discuss how camera techniques can enhance filmmaking. The ‘Post-Production Studio’, created by Berlinale Talents collaboratively with Canon, will focus on digital workflows, from shooting and editing to colour correction and mastering for the final stages of production. Selected participants will have the opportunity to get hands on with Canon’s latest equipment, including the EOS C300, EOS C500 and EOS 5D Mark III.
For the first time, Canon will also commission a selection of short films from the Talents, to be shot on Canon’s products. The short films will be showcased by Canon, both at industry events throughout Europe and on the Canon Professional Network.
Canon will in addition support a joint initiative between Berlinale Talents and the European Film Market (EFM), which offers filmmakers further insight into the workings of the EFM, as well as allowing them to present themselves to industry professionals and build their individual networks.
“Technology and creativity is only one part of the film-making process, without a suitable network of contacts the task of getting a movie made becomes much harder,” said Kieran Magee, Director of Professional Imaging, Canon Europe. “Berlinale Talents helps filmmakers through every aspect of the process, we are pleased to support this innovative programme.”
As well as a full programme of workshops, acclaimed portrait photographer and Canon Explorer Joerg Kyas will use Canon equipment in his studio set-up to create portraits of each of the 300 Berlinale Talents 2014 participants. Canon equipment will also be used throughout the event to produce promotional reels and trailers.
Berlinale Talents runs over six days during the Berlin International Film Festival, from 8th-13th February, 2014. Eligible attendees include emerging film professionals in the first 10 years of their career, spanning all areas of the industry, including actors, cinematographers, directors, editors, producers, production designers, screen writers, distributors, sound designers and composers.

Reflections are defining. They are capable of revealing so much about ourselves, an event or a moment in time. The likenesses that are mirrored sometimes reflect the true reality in this world. At other times they are nothing more than pure illusions. TeraBella Media invites you to submit your own interpretations and experiences regarding “reflected” images.
“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense about what is being photographed”
Ansel Adams

Structures and buildings that are in a state of decay are often intriguing. They arouse our curiosity. Some of these dwellings are plain and mundane while others reveal hints of having more elaborate architectural details. We ponder their history and wonder why they were left alone. The following images are the recognized winners of the competition “Abandoned”.
OK…there are many photographers past and present that have inspired me and my photography but I think the one guy who has inspired me the most is a Guernsey based photographer named Karl Taylor.
This guy to me is a legend, his ideas are original, innovative, inspiring and above all….simply breathtaking.
He is a master at using natural and introduced light which is what photography is all about, and the way he can pass on his skills either through his workshops or video courses in an easy to understand way pretty much sums up this fun and laid back photographer.
He is world renowned and respected throughout the commercial and fashion industry as one of the top shooters and I believe that knowing this guy has been there seen it and done it and simply kicked it straight into the back of the net is a great reason why you should make it a must to visit him and his team at the Focus on Imaging at Birmingham’s NEC from the 3rd to the 6th March 2013, check out his fabulous talks and if your lucky enough …purchase some of his DVD based courses…you will not regret it.
I know I am gonna go…..
Check out more info on this master photographer below…visit his website…be blown away!
Enjoy….
Karl Taylor has been a professional photographer for over 15 years and has travelled the globe on assignments for some of the world’s most successful companies. Here is a brief synopsis of his career in the industry…
Karl left school at the age of just 16 with a talent for art and design. After securing a promising job in the design industry, Karl hoped to develop his skills and looked forward to the future. However, less than a year later and only 17 years old Karl was made redundant. Out of work and not really knowing what to do next, Karl applied for a vacancy at a retail photography store selling camera equipment. It was a decision that would change his life forever.
