Imaging retailer CameraWorld has revealed details of its 2022 LIVE event, at the Brands Hatch racing circuit on 7 July 2022, which will give photographers the chance to get their hands on the very latest photo gear.  

It’s the 10th year of the CameraWorld LIVE event, which will have many of the biggest brands in photography in attendance, special show deals on equipment, plus unique ‘photowalk’ opportunities to meet and be tutored by top photographers.

A CameraWorld spokesperson told AP, ‘LIVE offers some great experiences that go beyond the equipment. It’s a great day out for any level of photographer. The show is set to be bigger and better than ever. We cater for all levels of photographers; whether you are tired of the limitations of your camera phone and looking to get into ‘real’ photography for the first time, a card-carrying camera enthusiast, or even a fully-fledged professional photographer. There really is something for everyone.’
