As technology continues to reshape the language of visual storytelling, MPTS (14–15 May, Olympia London) arrives at a pivotal moment for cinematographers and camera professionals. With over 100 free-to-attend sessions and 300+ exhibitors, this year’s show puts cameras, workflows, and production craft at the forefront of the conversation.
Among the highlights is Multi-Camera Mash-Up, a hands-on session from CVP in the Production Theatre, offering insight into rigging, live switching and large-format multi-cam configurations used in OB, studio and event settings.
For those working in higher-end narrative or branded content, URSA Cine 12K – Revolution not Resolution! is not to be missed. Director of Photography James Tonkin presents the case for high-resolution, large-format workflows, exploring the creative possibilities unlocked by Blackmagic RAW, in the Blackmagic Design Seminar Theatre.
As virtual production reshapes both technique and team structure, Virtual Production: State of the Nation will look at the implications for DoPs – from LED wall integration and camera tracking to new real-time workflows.
And in a world where sound is increasingly central to visual storytelling, The Future of Audio: State of the Nation (Audio Theatre) explores how immersive audio and AI-powered tools are changing the creative landscape on set and in post.
For cinematographers, MPTS is more than a showcase of the latest gear – it’s a space to reconnect with the craft, discover the tech behind tomorrow’s images, and learn from those defining the look of the screen today.
