DxO Labs Press Release

DxO Image Masters Hank Gans and NyghtFalcon to discuss photography and workflow at the DxO Labs’ booth

New York, NY, Photo Plus Expo 2006, Booth 1342 (October 27, 2006) – DxO Labs will welcome DxO Image Masters Hank Gans and NyghtFalcon Photography at their booth during PhotoPlus Expo 2006 next week. The DxO Image Masters program showcases the work of internationally recognized professional photographers working in a diverse range of photographic styles and subjects. Hank Gans is widely recognized for his color landscapes and his work is featured in galleries and private collections around the world. NyghtFalcon Photography, a photo partnership, focuses on fine commercial photography (the intersection between fine art and very high end commercial photography). Their signature style includes an unusual sense of composition, strong shadows, rich colors, detailed texture and intense emotion.

The DxO Image Masters program had its debut in October 2005 and today features prominent professionals from Canada, France, Germany, India, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom and the United States. Samples of work by the DxO Image Masters can be seen at www.dxo.com/en/photo/image_masters

“Hosting these DxO Image Masters at our booth at PhotoPlus Expo is a fantastic advantage for other professionals. Not only can they see the work of these photographers and discuss their common passion, photography, but visitors will have a chance to see how professionals incorporate DxO Optics Pro software into their toolkit and workflow,” said Luc Marin, vice president of the Photography Business Unit at DxO Labs.

DxO Optics Pro has been chosen as 2006 “Best Photo Software” by the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA).
