Wearables, disrupting an industry and helping you to “feel sound like never before”

Photography Changed Forever: A Bandwagon Even Mr. Walt Disney Would Jump On!
PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED TO TALENT ZOO’S DIGITAL PIVOT It seems that 2016 will be far from a boring year. With so many IoT devices hitting the markets, many of us just won’t know how to act. For the photographer still in love with film, this message is especially for you! Set for release in August, we won’t even be able to look at photographs the same again…literally! Originally planning a 2015 release, LifePrint just didn’t “click” with audiences who didn’t quite “get” IoT technology and digital imagery – or what they could potentially bring. An August 2014 Kickstarter campaign proved unsuccessful. But, with the passion and persistence, LifePrint reemerges from the start-up…
