News The Big Interview With the Pixel Trade Awards rolling up fast, Dave Rasch of Phoneix Photographic - last year’s Minilab of the Year - shares the winning formula, the diference a Pixel Trade Award has made to his business and his hopes to get his hands on another one!
The Best of Both Worlds Samsung’s Galaxy Camera offers superb imaging with the power and convenience of the Android operating system. Jon Penney, Senior Product Manager, Digital Imaging at Samsung UK explains the benefits of this hybrid.
Too Many Pics? Photographers may not be displaying their images because they just have too many to know what to do with, it turns out. A recent survey conducted on behalf of photo printing company SnapBox, almost 20% of casual photographers don’t display their images because they have too many to choose from. Further to that, 28% of respondents had lost treasured images after dropping and damaging their phones. Unsurprisingly, 28% of 18-24-year-olds store most of their images on sites such as Facebook and Instagram and almost a third of British consumers confessed to uploading images whilst still on holiday!

AwArds HOSt ANNouNced!
we’re biased, of course, but the host of this year’s Pixel trade Awards is a definite winner! Following the announcement of this year’s prestigious Pixel Trade Awards - Friday 15th November, The Park Plaza Riverbank, London, if you mised it - we can now reveal that the host of this year’s event will be Christian O’Connell. Our esteemed host is a DJ, TV presenter and writer who currently wakes up 1.5 million people every morning hosting the national breakfast show on Absolute Radio. His feature ‘Who’s Calling Christian…’ attracted a host of celebrities and even received a phone call from Tony Blair during his time as Prime Minister. This autumn sees Christian return to BBC Radio 5 Live’s Fighting Talk, which he first hosted during the
2004/2005 season. Christian took his debut stand-up show ‘This is 13’ to the Edinburgh Comedy Festival this summer to extremely positive reviews - no small feat for a newcomer at the notoriously tough comedy festival. On TV Christian has appeared on ITV Two’s ‘Back on the Job’ where he went back to being a bin man, local radio presenter and telesales operative, and made guest appearances on Loose Women, Something for the Weekend, and The Weakest Link. Now, Christian is bringing his hosting skills and comedic touch to the Pixel Trade Awards, to help us as we recognise the star performed of the trade this year - people, brands and products alike. Will you be there?
