A celebration of emerging photography talents that share their work and reveal how they get their pictures to be noticed.

Which emerging photography talents can't be missed in 2020? This evening we highlight the work of Ana Zibelnik, winner of the GUP New Dutch Photography Talent Award 2020 and the other finalists Sara Punt, Joep Hijwegen and Marc Elisabeth. We will discuss the opportunities and challenges for emerging photographers. What is it like to be a young photographer nowadays? Justine Tjallinks, featured in the 2015 edition of the book and successfully building an international career ever since, will elaborate on this theme from her personal experiences and perspective.

With contributions by:

• Erik Vroons, senior editor at GUP Magazine, will share all the ins and outs of their publication. Numbers, dates, founders: where did it all start and mostly, why?

• Roy Kahmann, the founder of GUP and GUP New, elaborates on photography talent and development. How do they support new emerging photographers? And what skills do they need nowadays?

• As a successful photographer, Justine Tjallinks knows all about creating an individual style. As a talent, she joined the Kahmann Gallery and meanwhile her work is discovered by an international audience. What has she learned during these years? What tips does she have for young photographers that are just starting out?

• Presentations and Q&A’s with four GUP New finalists; Sara Punt on fine art photography and the secret of engaging with a new audience online, Joep Hijwegen on street photography, public domain and strange encounters, Marc Elisabeth on the importance of humor and failure in visual images and Ana Zibelnik, winner of the GUP new award, on the value of international experience and her project ‘We are the ones turning‘.
