Originating in India, Diwali is now a globally celebrated holiday. Usually taking place between October and November, this lunar holiday is primarily celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains; although in contemporary culture, many communities gather to take part in the celebrations. As the celebrations grow year-on-year, we will be talking to the best practices for photographing this occasion.

Whether used for stills photography or filmmaking, a camera offers the user a unique opportunity to tell a story. Here at Wex Photo Video, we recognise the value of those stories and believe they all deserve to be heard, as they provide an insight into the spectrum of human experiences lived across a nation of creative people.

Our #ChangeTheImage campaign showcases a selection of talented individuals from a variety of cultural backgrounds, all of whom live and work in the UK. Join us for a week of inspiring, entertaining and educational events that reflect the diverse passions, skills and views of our community.
