Combine fashion, commercial, photojournalism and nature photographers together on a stage and the conversation can go anyplace. But at the Photokina panel “Pro Photography: What’s Film Got to Do with It,” hosted by Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK), the one passion shared by these photographers is their love of film. The panel, featuring internationally renowned photographers Pep Bonet, Det Kempke, Amy Postle and Eddie Soloway, and moderated by Prof. Dr. Rolf Sachsse, will explore their work, their motivations and the relevance of film in their craft.

“When I look at the collective portfolios of each of these artists, I’m simply astounded by the voice, passion and commitment each brings to the stories they tell,” said Mary Jane Hellyar, president, Film, Photofinishing & Entertainment Group and executive vice president, Eastman Kodak Company. “We’re thrilled to have such an accomplished and diverse group share their experiences and engage with Photokina attendees.”
