Canon has launched Canon Connected, a free to access content hub featuring educational and inspiring videos for photography enthusiasts and videographers.
The hub will regularly feature inspiring and educational videos created by Canon Ambassadors and community of filmmakers, experts and influencers across Europe. These videos are expected to enable people to learn a new skill or perfect their technique during these unprecedented times.
While commenting on the initiative, Sales And Marketing Director at Canon Central and North Africa, Amine Djouahra said: “I am extremely proud to support our network of Canon Ambassadors and community of photography enthusiasts during these challenging times. Canon Connected will host an exciting array of inspirational and educational video content which will help our community learn and develop new photography techniques from the comfort of their home, long after the lockdown has lifted.”
For many professional photographers and filmmakers, the restrictive lockdown measures imposed across the world has impacted their ability to work and travel. Canon Connected provides these very people the opportunity to share their experience, knowledge and talent with a virtual community of photography enthusiasts and in the process, enables them to continue with their livelihoods from the safety of their home.
Visitors to the Canon Connected hub will be able to select from videos produced by some of the world’s most acclaimed and accomplished photographers and filmmakers, including Pulitzer Prize winning photographer, Daniel Etter; documentary and expedition photographer, Ulla Lohmann; and editorial expert, Wanda Martin, talking through how to set up a home studio. In addition, extreme sports photographer, Richard Walch shares his vlogging essentials; while family photographer, Helen Bartlett provides tips for how to photograph restless children.
Canon Connected will cover a variety of relevant topics with videos comprising of tips, tricks and tutorials for anyone interested in learning from the masters of their craft or simply fine-tune their photography or video-making skills.
