It’s Their Future. Put It To The People March. Official figures put the numbers at the anti Brexit march at over one million. The demonstration, marched in central London calling for another EU referendum. The demo ends in Parliament Square. London, UK. March 23, 2019. Photo: Edmond Terakopian
To have a look at the work, please visit the People’s section in the Galleries, to see the images chosen by the editors for the photo contest.
The photograph was made on a Panasonic S1R and the S24-105mm lens. The raw image was converted to a DNG file using Adobe’s Raw Converter (as Lightroom hadn’t yet released support for the S Series, which is has done since). The Raw DNG file was then processed in Lightroom and finished in Alienskin’s Exposure X4, on an Apple Mac Pro using calibrated Eizo CG monitors.

Art line prime lens lineup for full-frame cameras with L-Mount
Pre-production Sigma Art line prime lens lineup for full-frame cameras in L-Mount. L-R: Sigma Mount Converter MC-21 (allows Canon EF mount lenses to be used with L-Mount cameras), SIGMA 24mm F1.4 DG HSM Art, SIGMA 85mm F1.4 DG HSM Art and SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG HSM Art lenses, with a Panasonic Lumix S1R full frame mirrorless camera (the lenses and adapter are prototype mockups and final production may vary).

A joy to get a sneak peek at three of the newly announced Sigma L-Mount Art lenses and also the hotly awaited mount adapter. The samples were in large non working prototypes, but they gave a really good idea of weight, finish and handling.
My already huge fondness of the Lumix S1 and S1R took another leap upwards after initially hearing of the launch lineup, but having seen the quality of these lenses, I’m confident the future of the L Mount, with the L Mount Alliance (Leica, Lumix and Sigma), is going to be very bright indeed (as well as being pin sharp, with great tonal rendition!).

I’m thrilled to be celebrating my 30th year as a photographer at the show, by sharing some images and thoughts, at my talk about my career, generously, supported by Lumix.
“30 years of photography; photojournalism and beyond”, Behind The Lens Theatre, 19 Mar 2019, 13:00-13:40. Edmond Terakopian shares images and stories from his 30-year career as a photographer, covering photojournalism, commercial photography and his passion for observing daily life with his street photography.

I’m also looking forward to sharing some photographs and thoughts on the Panasonic Lumix G9, which has helped me win several awards over the year, and show my work shot on the newly launched, full-frame, phenomenal S1 and S1R. I’ve had the pleasure to work with the S Series since the beginning of the year, so was one of the first wave of professional photographers from around the world to receive a prototype S1 to work with. To say I’ve been left very impressed would be an understatement!
I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the fabulous Lumix G9, GX9 and range of superb Leica DG lenses. Photo: Edmond Terakopian
The talks are on:
Sunday the 17th of March at 15:30. “Three Months With The Lumix S1 and S1R”
Monday the 18th of March at 10:30. “Awards and Beyond with the Lumix G9”
They will take place on the Panasonic Lumix stand, D41. I’m happy to say that a few of my images shot on the G9 and S1 will be on the stand as large prints, so I hope you will have the chance to see what these fabulous cameras are capable of.
I shall also be with the Lumix team at the Pro Lounge on:
Saturday, March 16th, from 13:00 – 14:00.
So if you’d like to see the Lumix S Series, have a chat or see my work shot on the S1 and S1R, do pop by.
