Vision 2008 offers young professionals the chance to get their portfolios reviewed by experts from across the industry, take advantage of one-day only deals on the latest photographic kit and hear top photographers speak about their careers.br /br /Attendees will hear a speech by Jacob Aue Sobol, one of Magnum Photos' rising stars and the subject of this week's cover story. He won the Leica European Publishers’ Award for his I, Tokyo project, which will be published by Dewi Lewi next month and which he’ll present at Vision. He’ll also present images from his first, celebrated, book, Sabine, which documents life in an isolated Greenland community.br /br /Simon Roberts will also give the first public viewing of his latest photo series, We English - a follow-up Motherland, his acclaimed book exploring Russian identity. This time he's focused on ideas of nationhood closer to home, taking to the road in a motorhome for six months with his wife and daughter, 'documenting landscapes where groups of people congregate for a common purpose and shared experience'.br /br /Another keynote speaker will be photojournalist Sam Faulkner, who gained wider attention for his Cocaine Wars project in July this year after winning BJP's first Project Assistance Award, sponsored by Nikon. Having documented the cocaine business for more than seven years - work that has already taken him to Colombia, Haiti, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil - he took a further trip to Mexico, funded by the award's £5000 prize.br /br /Last, but not least, acclaimed photographer Simon Norfolk will speak about his work. Best known for his stunning large format images exploring the socio-economic effects of militarism, Norfolk has been acclaimed as the leading British photographer of his generation. He'll talk about the ethos behind his work, the ideas behind his latest series, Full Spectrum Dominance, and how he's built a career shooting challenging subjects sold in some of the world's leading fine art photo galleries.br /br /Vision will also feature its usual mix of portfolio reviews, seminars, career advice and product demonstrations.
