Yet the league promises to confer diplomas on the latter and invite them to join the organization. The exhibition also features conferences for designers and architects, seminars on various trends in the technological development of photo equipment and digital devises, as well as master classes in spot reporting, sport photography, video film titling, etc., conducted by experts of the Kyiv branch of the National League of Ukrainian Photo Artists.
