Episode Number: 43
Publish Date: 7 April 2025
Episode Overview
Let’s talk about WPPI 2025, shall we? This year’s conference was a blast, and I’m here with Mitzi Starkweather to talk about the highlights! Held at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas, it brought together photographers from all corners of the globe, and boy, did we have a good time! Mitzi and I caught up to share our thoughts on everything from the seminars to the parties, and compared contrasting experiences. While she was busy working and speaking, I was busy making connections and soaking in knowledge. The vibe was refreshing, and we both felt a unique sense of community and support among fellow photographers. Sure, there were a few hiccups here and there—like figuring out the new layout of the venue or navigating the app—but overall, it was a step in the right direction! We also delved into the future of photography, discussing how we can adapt and grow in this ever-evolving industry.
Takeaways:
- WPPI 2025 at the Rio Hotel saw a mix of excitement and challenges, showcasing the evolving nature of photography conferences.
- Mitzi and Matt had contrasting experiences at WPPI, highlighting the importance of networking and personal growth in the industry.
- The inclusion of new spaces for community building and quieter discussions was a hit, but improvements in signage and accessibility are still needed.
- Conversations about the philosophical aspects of photography, like intention and connection, are crucial for the industry's growth and betterment.
- The Future of Photography Room provided a welcome respite from the chaos, reinforcing the need for such spaces at future events.
- Next year’s WPPI could benefit from more diverse and inclusive representation among speakers, focusing on the 'why' behind photography rather than just the 'how'.
