Here’s what’s going on at MPEX in February:
Profoto‘s John Williamson will be in Columbus February 15-16 for two awesome events. On Friday, Feb. 15 join us for the Lighting for Portraiture seminar, where John will cover everything from different lighting styles to how to set a proper exposure. Then, on Saturday, Feb. 16 we’re hosting Advanced Lighting Techniques Workshop, where John will coach participants during a real-life studio shoot at Roharik Studios with a professional model. This is five-hours of hands-on experience that will help you become a better studio photographer while allowing you to build your portfolio. There are only 12 available spots for Saturday’s workshop, so sign up today!

Our February Photo Contest, Good Things Come in Small Parcels, sponsored by SONY, is now live!
Sometimes the most loved things in life are the also the smallest. Our February Photo Contest theme is Good Things Come in Small Parcels. Show us a photograph that captures the littlest thing that you love.
Our February Photo Contest is sponsored by Sony. The Sony RX100 is the epitome of good things in small parcels, having been named one of TIME’s “25 Best Inventions of 2012.” The Grand Prize is an RX100 (yeah, seriously); First Prize is an HX30V, Sony’s Wi-Fi-ready compact; and the People’s Choice Prize is a W650.
There are a ton of great rebates we’re offering in February as well. Here are some of the highlights:
The Olympus OM-D EM5 has a $50 rebate running until February 16. The EM5 has a built-in hi-res EVF, a 16.1-MP Live MOS Sensor, the world’s first 5-axis image stabilizer, and a lightning-fast AF system.
The Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM has a $50 rebate. This is a great lens for small chip APS-C and Four Thirds sensors. This lens packs a Hyper-Sonic Motor (HSM) that gives you quiet and high-speed auto focus, aspherical glass elements to cut down on distortion, and is perfect for the portrait photographer looking for a fast prime lens.
The Canon 60D 18-135mm IS lens kit has a rebate of $200 through February 16. Get this awesome video-capable camera kit before it’s too late!
