VSLO
New Experiences, Friendships and an Extraordinary Community

VSLO is a unique photography festival. From its beautiful location in Romania at Vama Veche on the Black Sea to its plethora of educational offerings and unequalled experiences. No other photo festival in the world offers such diverse workshops and classes from esteemed experts on everything from documentary, sports, street, product, fashion photography and more – all for free! On top of this, VSLO has its share of engaging photography exhibits, talks and presentations that go far beyond the quotidien. Where else can you don scuba gear to view an underwater exhibit or hear top notch presentations by masters in their craft explain their art, desires, accomplishments and life stories. And if you are into the gear side of things, VSLO’s exhibitors bring the latest and greatest tools photographers can get their hands on. It’s real pleasure to be able to try out all kinds of great cameras, printers, software programs, and lenses for a week. And while some festivals around the world do have several aspects of VSLO’s offerings, what really makes it special is that all attendees and guests are treated equally and with respect. Everyone comes away with new experiences, friendships and the feeling that they belong to a extraordinary community of peers that can’t be replicated elsewhere.
