During the 30th of November and 1st of December, at the Centro de Congressos de Aveiro, ten great personalities from the world of photography and video were gathered: Christian Ziegler, Corey Rich, Daniel Berehulak, Danielle Da Silva, Frans Lanting, Joel Santos, Justin Mott, Krystle Wright, Philip Lee Harvey and Veronique de Viguerie who shared their personal stories and professional careers. The most diverse themes were talked upon environmental conservation, humanitarian causes, adventure, human overcoming and travel.
But they were not the only ones to share life stories: Mandy Barker shared her impressive work on the theme of sea and ocean pollution.
We also had the privilege of honouring Danielle Da Silva and her organisation Photographers Without Borders.
For the second year in a row, we had the ExodusTalents lectures where Ana Brígida, José Ramos, Ricardo Guerreiro and Rúben Vicente shared their photographic and videography work.
Saturday morning still had a debate with some of our guest speakers, moderated by the photographer, Matthieu Paley.
In addition to these inspirational talks, we also had Masterclasses, where some of the speakers were able to share their knowledge with a more exclusive audience, where the technical component of photography and video were the central focus.
The diverse programme also included a space called The Wanderlust lounge, where activities took place during the mornings and evenings of this weekend.
The nights were enriched with TravelTalks, where we had Carolina Pereira, Anabela and Jorge from diariesof blog, Fábio Inácio, Tânia Neves and Ana and João Miranda who shared stories and adventures.
