Hall 1 will become a meeting place for imaging professionals from around the world. The Visual Gallery and the areas “Meet the Professionals” and “Academy meets Photokina” will be accommodated here. For the third time, the Visual Gallery will be the cultural highlight of Photokina. The best-known names at the Visual Gallery in 2006 will include the collector Prof. L. Fritz Gruber, who passed away last year and whose life work will be honoured in a retrospective exhibition, the Magnum photographer Martin Parr and the rock star Bryan Adams, whose photos of the actor Mickey Rourke will be on show Once again in 2006, “Meet the Professionals” will serve as a contact forum for representatives of the creative worlds of photography, advertising, press content services and electronic media. User associations and organizations, and trade publishers, will be holding information events and workshops on current topics of interest here. At “Academy meets Photokina,” colleges and academies from Germany and abroad will be presenting their latest photographic and imaging projects, exhibitions and degree projects. It is being held in close cooperation with the German Society for Photography (DGPh), which will contribute a number of trade-specific presentations. By combining events that are conceived for and staged by imaging professionals, Photokina 2006 will offer established photographers and up-and-coming talents the unique opportunity to share creative ideas, make new contacts and strike up new business partnerships.
