Last weekend I went to The Photography Show. It was a last minute decision as I only booked the ticket on Wednesday, but I had been thinking about it for a while. I was toying with the idea of going with someone, but in the end decided to go it alone. The main reason was that I had specific things I wanted to see and do, and I felt it would be easier to do this on my own.
Last year launched the first ever Photography Show, so having not been there before I wasn't really sure what to expect. I have, however, been to hairdressing shows and the Clothes Show and presumed that they would be of a similar experience.
I must admit there were quite a few differences and I guess this was mainly down to camera equipment being a lot more expensive than clothes or hair products. For instance, don’t expect any freebies. You even have to pay for the backdated editions of magazines here.
However, I thoroughly enjoyed my day and learnt a lot. I’m already looking forward to next years Photography Show, especially as I now know what to expect and can go with this in mind. So I thought it might be nice to share my experience with you, so if you decide to go to The Photography Show on a budget, you have some insight into planning your day and maybe saving yourselves a few pounds.
