Rod Fountain: Behind-the-Scenes Photography
Join Rod for an entertaining behind-the-scenes look at his career, including more than 20 years photographing BBC’s Top Gear.
Gary Williamson: Through Their Lens
Gary will describe his perspective on photography shaped by living with a visual impairment. The ‘Through Their Lens’ collection features ten images that bring his unique way of seeing the world to light.
These seminars are supported by major photographic brands Canon, Nikon, Sony and Sigma.
Gavin Hoey: Practical Hands-On Workshop Sessions
Due to the huge popularity of his technical masterclasses last year, Gavin Hoey is back with more opportunities for photographers, filmmakers and content creators to learn from his wealth of experience. He will demonstrate dramatic portrait techniques using controlled creative lighting, as well as innovative ways to use LED lighting and colour. Attendees will take part in shoots in these hands-on workshops using their own equipment and take away the shots they create on their SD card.
Leica Talks with Tom Greetham: ‘Leica and the Art of Seeing’
Tom will present a brief history of the brand and iconic images captured on Leica, and how to capture impactful images with Leica M and Q system cameras. Two sessions available on a first come, first served basis.
Additional activities on the day include free photo walks and a draw to win some fantastic prizes including an OM System TG-7 Red Adventure Kit worth £449 plus a £100 Sigma event voucher. More will be announced over the next month.
Open from 9.30am to 4.30pm, the one-day event will also feature demonstrations of the latest products from leading brands, as well as networking opportunities and exclusive show-only offers. Furthermore, attendees will have access to the legendary Haynes ‘Red Room’ and will be able to browse the winning images in the LCE Photographer of the Year 2026 exhibition. Refreshments will be available to purchase on site.
LCE would like to thank the exhibitors and sponsors for making this event possible, including Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Sony, OM System, Sigma, Lumix, Leica, Zeiss, Swarovski Optik, Tamron, Lexar and more.
