In an underwater environment that is so alien to human life, is it possible to take photographs that are as excellent as those taken on dry land? This important question will be the focus of the first-ever “Underwater Imaging World,” hosted by Taucher.net and Colorfoto magazine, which will take place on a special area in Hall 5.1, Stand F30 at photokina in Cologne.
Editors of Germany’s largest online diving portal, Taucher.net, will take questions throughout the trade fair and will be supported by four internationally renowned underwater photographers. Wolfgang Pölzer (www.unterwasser-fotos.com) is from Austria and Eckard Krumpholz (www.photos-subjektiv.de) comes from Germany.

Computer-generated imaging (CGI) was originally developed as an application in the technical fields of product development and product design. Today, these new methods are increasingly being used in advertising communication. The automobile industry in particular is already making effective use of these technologies on an ongoing basis.
What’s special about the technology is the work process involved, which this year’s photokina will demonstrate step-by-step: CGI takes conventional image production and processing to whole new levels of complexity because it requires integrated use of technical equipment including cameras, photo labs, digital technology, image processing, and 3D programs.
