LONDON, Aug. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — HONOR, the fastest-growing smartphone brand in Europe, this week furthered its collaboration with renowned photographer, Rankin, launching a three-day edition of RankinLive in Central London. The launch day event, attended by media from across Europe, featured an in-depth tutorial on how to achieve the prefect portrait shot, as well as a Q&A session with Rankin.

During the event, Rankin explained his eight-step process for achieving studio-level portraits with the HONOR 200 Pro device with tips at each stage for perfecting your shot. This included a live demonstration of the HONOR 200 Pro’s various features, including the Harcourt portrait modes, which HONOR co-engineered with Studio Harcourt, the legendary French portrait studio, for the launch of the HONOR 200 series.

Rankin’s eight steps to the perfect portrait:

Step

Top Tip

1.  Location

Make sure you have good lighting and a neutral background so
the camera focuses on the subject – not the backdrop

2.  Subject

Try to work with people you know and who will be more relaxed
when shooting, especially while you are learning

3.  Styling

Think about hair, clothing and props. Avoid patterned clothing
which will be harder to focus and may detract from the subject

4.  Lighting

Lighting can make a huge difference to mood, shadow and texture
– a simple table lamp at home will give you a great variety of
lighting options. You don’t need a professional studio

5.  Settings

You can use pre-set modes and filters like Harcourt mode on the
H200 – but once you get more confident, play around with other
settings such as aperture, focal length and contrast

6.  Posing

Go for the extremes – use hands, props and different facial
expressions to get the most variety from your subject

7.  Connect

Establish a connection with your subject, talk to them and make
them feel comfortable – if possible make them laugh

8.  Review

Work with your subject to choose the best shots – gut instinct will
often make the best ones stand out immediately

Members of the audience were used as Rankin’s subjects during the workshop, to showcase the portrait capabilities of the HONOR 200 Pro, highlighting how posture, styling and different lighting conditions can raise your portrait game when capturing the perfect shot. The remainder of the three-day event will be open to members of the public, allowing anyone who registers and books a spot to experience being photographed by Rankin.

The Q&A session also covered a variety of topics with Rankin talking at length about his career, his love for photography and getting the best out of his subjects. Rankin also discussed the advancement of AI technology and how this has changed photography, advice for up-and-coming young photographers, and finished the discussion with a number of anecdotes about some of the celebrities he has photographed over the years.

Speaking about the collaboration, Rankin said: “I’m excited to be working with HONOR to showcase the capabilities of the 200 Series and demonstrate just how easy it is to capture stunning portraits using a mobile phone. It’s great to see the amazing images that have been submitted already by consumers since the launch of the device and we look forward to welcoming members of the public to the RankinLive in London this week.”

“With the HONOR 200 Series, we’re proud to bring the perfect fusion of artistry and technology to Europe, allowing anyone to take studio-level portraits every time”, said Tony Ran, President of HONOR Europe. “Working with Rankin is a further demonstration of our commitment to the European market and underscores our relentless pursuit of excellence in redefining the boundaries of mobile photography.

Unlocking the Mastery of Studio Harcourt Portrait Photography

Recognizing the most important tools in portrait photography are light and shadow, the HONOR 200 Series has been equipped with advanced hardware and meticulously co-engineered AI-powered software that recognizes even the most subtle nuances of lighting. The HONOR 200 Pro features a 50MP Portrait Main Camera with a Super Dynamic H9000 Sensor enabling users to capture compelling images with the perfect balance of light and shadow in even challenging lighting scenarios. With support for 4-in-1 pixel binning technology with a pixel size of 2.4μm, users can capture intricate details in their images even in low light scenarios. Additionally, the HONOR 200 Pro features a 50MP Portrait Telephoto Camera and a customized telephoto sensor from Sony. The HONOR 200 Pro also provides better light sensing capabilities, ensuring clear and true captures of distant objects with exceptional details.

The HONOR 200 Pro takes portrait photography to new heights with the powerful AI-enhanced HONOR AI Portrait Engine.

BingX Introduces ALTCOIN Index Futures Trading: One Click, Countless Trends

Published

on

By

VILNIUS, Lithuania, Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BingX, a global leading cryptocurrency exchange, is excited to announce the launch of ALTCOIN Index, the first futures trading pair involving top altcoins. This innovative trading product offers users a one-click solution to efficiently track and trade major cryptocurrency trends with ease.

Traditionally used in stock markets, a futures index is a financial derivative that tracks the performance of a group of assets, such as stocks of commodities. These instruments were first introduced to simplify trading by allowing investors to speculate on or hedge against the collective movements of selected market sectors. Instead of purchasing individual stocks, traders are able to access broad market exposure in a single transaction, saving time and reducing costs.

In the cryptocurrency market, this new ALTCOIN/USDT futures trading pair works similarly by bundling the performance of the top mainstream cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, excluding Bitcoin (BTC) and stablecoins. The current index includes ETH, XRP, SOL, BNB, DOGE, ADA, TRX, AVAX, and SHIB. This approach is more efficient compared to buying individual cryptocurrencies or ETFs as this allows for direct speculation using tiered leverage options without the need to manage multiple positions, effectively diversifying trading risks associated with individual asset volatility.

Vivien Lin, Chief Product Officer of BingX, commented on the new offering: “By aggregating a range of leading cryptocurrencies into a single trading instrument, we’re giving users a practical and efficient way to better capture market trends. This index trading pair should help our less experienced users with their trading goals more easily, particularly when they are unsure which asset to trade and just want to trade major altcoins in general with leverage.”

BingX users can take advantage of tiered leverage options and competitive rates consistent with the platform’s perpetual futures terms, simplifying open order management and enhancing trading efficiency. The platform also ensures that the index composition remains current, with regular quarterly adjustments and temporary updates in response to market conditions.

About BingX
Founded in 2018, BingX is a leading crypto exchange, serving over 10 million users worldwide. BingX offers diversified products and services, including spot, derivatives, copy trading, and asset management – all designed for the evolving needs of users, from beginners to professionals. BingX is committed to providing a trustworthy platform that empowers users with innovative tools and features to elevate their trading proficiency. In 2024, BingX proudly became the official crypto exchange partner of Chelsea Football Club, marking an exciting debut in the world of sports.
