Sony Announces Pro-Photographer Program

PhotoPlus Expo #1018 -- Sony today unveiled its professional photographer program at the PhotoPlus Expo tradeshow.

Based on synergies between their unique styles of photography and Sony's line of a (alpha) cameras, Sony hand-selected five professional photographers to be included in its first-ever professional photographer program. These pro-photographers -- Andy Katz, David McLain, Christina Mittermeier, Brian Smith and Matthew Jordan Smith--have recently been using the alpha (model DSLR-A900) camera and an assorment of lenses.

By following their unique visions, each of the photographers created the images in a gallery that is on display today at the PhotoPlus Expo in New York City's Jacob Javits Convention Center.
