Become a better visual storyteller at The Photography & Video ShowCalling all photographers, videographers and content creators — pro and amateur alike! Ready to improve your craft, upgrade your kit, or network with thousands of like-minded creatives? We’ve got just the event for you… From 8-11 March The Photography & Video Show takes over Excel London, transforming it into the ultimate destination for visual storytellers. This is your chance to get hands-on with the latest cameras, lenses, lighting, and video equipment from leading brands like Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, and Adobe (to name but a few). If you like what you find, you can even take advantage of exclusive show prices. To help you make the most of your kit (and your talent), there are over 350 speakers — experts in photography, filmmaking, and brand building who’ll share insights across a variety of genres. You can even put some of the tips you pick up to immediate use with the help of the Creator Playground, where you’re invited to make use of stunning sets to capture some top tier content of your own. Our Show of the MonthIf you think Titanic — the film, not the ocean liner — would’ve benefited from more power ballads, then we’ve got good news for you. Titanique is a delightfully bonkers (and suitably camp) musical send-up of the James Cameron blockbuster, featuring the timeless music of Céline Dion. A history of hawkersThe phrase “London street food” might conjure up images of artfully arranged cronuts, posh kebabs or dainty bottles of kombucha, but the industry has played an vital role in the capital for centuries. Charlie Taverner’s Street Food: Hawkers and the History of London reconstructs the working lives of the impoverished traders at the heart of it, between the late 16th and early 20th centuries. Star-studded SophoclesBrie Larson (Room, Lessons in Chemistry, Captain Marvel) stars in a major revival of Sophocles’ revenge tragedy, Elektra. She’s joined by the likes of Marieme Diouf, Greg Hicks, Patrick Vaill and — drumroll please — Stockard Channing (yep, Rizzo from Grease) at Duke of York’s Theatre from 24 January.
