2024 World Photography Day

True Colors, True Stories with BenQ Smart Lighting

world photo
 

We know that photographers strive to convey the scene captured through their lens to the audience, reflecting the beauty as it was when the picture was taken. Therefore, color accuracy during the editing session is extremely important. However, this often results in working in a dark editing environment to ensure true color representation.
 
At BenQ, we have recognized this problem and designed the ScreenBar Halo to address it. With its specially tested front light that does not affect screen color calibration and a high CRI for printed color accuracy, the ScreenBar Halo has helped many photographers and enhanced their comfort.
 
To celebrate World Photography Day, we invite 6 amazing photographers to showcase the importance of color accuracy and share how the ScreenBar Halo helps them during editing sessions.
