The 2016 Photo & Film Expo – What a Success!

The Photo & Film Expo is Africa’s premier industry event, drawing massive crowds from across the continent and across the professional spectrum. This year, RapidStudio was front and centre for this amazing event – and we brought along our spirit of collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and (of course) free cupcakes!

A Hands-On Showcase

We set up a demonstration stand to give visitors a hands-on, tactile experience of our products – from photobooks to canvas prints. Plus, we handed out 50% off vouchers to an excited crowd to help kick-start their printing projects.

Relaxing at the RapidStudio Lounge

RapidStudio’s Lounge was the perfect place for visitors to rest and recharge. We partnered with:

  • Sevens for ultra-comfy furniture,
  • Richarge for complimentary recharge stations, and
  • Mowana Spa for free relaxing massages.

The RapidStudio Lounge looked like a scene straight out of a James Bond movie... but with cupcakes! Did we mention the cupcakes?

Sharing Knowledge with Industry Leaders

We proudly sponsored a stage where RapidStudio ambassadors and photography pros gave free talks. Special thanks to:

Your insights and expertise were truly inspiring to all attendees!

A Stunning Gallery with a Purpose

We also sponsored a huge gallery showcasing two powerful photographic initiatives:

Johnny Miller personally guided visitors through the Unequal Scenes gallery, sharing thought-provoking insights into the incredible images on display.

Most Interactive Stand – 1st Place!

Of course, we couldn’t resist bringing the fun! The yellow Morphs entertained visitors, making big smiles and happy photos at our Instagram-friendly backdrops. The energy paid off – RapidStudio won “Most Interactive Stand” for the second time!

A huge thank you to the event organisers and everyone involved:

  • Matt Raven and Chanti, for putting on a spectacular event,
  • Camera Stuff for your amazing contributions,
  • 3D Shell for the gallery walls,
  • Sevens, Mowana Spa, and Richarge for the lounge,
  • Johnny Miller and contributors to EveryDay Education,
  • And our tireless staff – from setup, to Morphing, to burning the midnight oil!

Looking Ahead

The 2016 Photo & Film Expo was a resounding success. We’re already looking forward to next year’s event, where we hope to collaborate, inspire, and share even more.
