Photo albums and frames are made of natural materials, while photo walls deliver a colorful and fun experience
The back-to-nature trend remains a feature of the photo frame market. Much favored natural materials, including logs, pines and whitewoods, have begun to dominate the mainstream photo frame market together with painted gold-trimmed, crystal and glass photo albums and frames, as they are highly valued for their low-carbon footprint and simplicity. Photo walls that can demonstrate personality and creativity are increasingly popular. Pictures on boards derived from the European mounting process have made a reappearance on the market. The colorful, stylish and simple frames in various shapes create an inspired and fun ensemble.
The new Internet+ exhibition hall brings together the best in industry resources
With the continuous evolution of Internet technologies that have become part and parcel of everyday living, the traditional wedding industry has long been in need of a transformation. The Internet, as the main driver of the innovation-driven economic growth, can improve service quality. Internet+, the Chinese government initiative to promote the application of the internet and other information technologies in conventional industries, is highly applicable to the wedding sector and has become a leading trend, with wedding photography studios integrating online with offline channels. Just this past February, the 29th China Wedding Expo launched the Internet+ Hall, integrating a wide cross-section of resources. At the 30th event, the new hall will be further expanded to include Hall N1 where premium e-commerce resources across the wedding photography sector will be showcased. Focusing on the integration of online with offline channels, the platform will provide a full array of Internet+ solutions for traditional wedding photography studios from resource integration to marketing, providing transformative, revenue generating solutions for studios.
VR technologies are applied in samples of theme wedding photography, and honeymoon photography services reach the four corners of the world
The 30th China Wedding Expo will showcase more samples of theme wedding photography using high-definition digital studio technologies. Virtual reality technology has been successfully applied in the sample wedding photo shoots on display. This interactive 3D immersion effect technology will make up for the limitations of HD digital studios in dynamic rendering.
"The world is so big that I want to see it with you". Travel photography is widely used in wedding photography. In settings without limitations combined with customized content, memorable shooting processes and non-intrusive support services, honeymoon photography is an option being selected by more and more newlyweds. The 30th expo will enrich the themes of honeymoon photography, providing newlyweds with more destinations for their journey of love.
