It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creative worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat”, it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It’s a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.
Fashion, commercials and documentaries… Photography today is advancing faster and faster and offering more opportunities … But is it always easy, just to push a button and take a photo? From analog to digital, what will photography be tomorrow??
