CEBU, Philippines - More than 180 photography hobbyists and pros took part in the recently staged Cebu Canon Photomaratohon 2013, the second on-the-spot photography competition of its class organized by Canon Marketing Philippines in Cebu via its Visayas Regional Office.

Held in the J Centre Mall in AS Fortuna, Mandaue last August 31, the event challenged its participants in capturing interesting and engaging on-location images using either DSLR or point-and-shoot cameras.

Setting morning and afternoon themes as its participants’ shot-list guidelines, Photomarathon 2013 photographers where tasked to take photos that delved into the themes “Spectrum, Motion and Expression” and “Emotion, Passion and Structure”.

Canon Brand Ambassadors Per Andre Hoffman, Ely Teehankee, Jay Jallorina, Edwin Martinez and Cebu-based Canon Brand Ambassadors were the event’s overall judges, with their extensive experience as industry professionals playing a crucial role in determining the best of participant-submitted images.

Canon Marketing Philippines also introduced three brand ambassadors for its Large Format Printer Series during the course of the event, with Per Andre Hoffman, Edwin Martinez and Jay Jallorina sharing their professional views on the versatility and quality inherent in Canon’s professional large format printer series to members of Cebu’s media.

Prior to the staging of the event, Canon Marketing Philippines also organized the Print Like A Pro Photography and Printing Talk Series last August 29, with more than 25 participants gaining a lot of insight and industry trips and tricks from Per Andre Hoffman, whose professional portfolio includes having his images appear in a number of internationally respected publications like National Geographic, Vogue, Time, Life, Stern, Geo, USA Today and more.
