On July 11, 2010 , on Sunday, the first PhotoCamp took place in Krasnodar in the Formula business club.

The third Minibar turned out to be narrowly focused, showed many new faces, touched upon the complex topics of the industry and interested the competent speakers. The theme of PhotoCamp in Krasnodar was:
Photography on the Web .
The first section was devoted to photo projects on the Internet. The authors and owners of two multidirectional and multi-scale Internet resources told about the goals of creation, features and prospects of their sites.

- Artem Chernov presented photopolygon.com - the largest Internet site for photojournalists. He showed a slideshow of the exhibition WE, admitted that he rigidly moderated the authors and their works, avoiding weak photo stories, even with very high-quality text.
- Dima Zhuravlev told about the Krasnodar project - inDisco.ru - the digest of club life in Krasnodar. The goals of the author lie outside the club industry and narrow-subject photography, the project in the future will also include thematic text content - materials of professional journalists, user opinions.
In the second section, an attorney and lawyer of the Krasnodar Plus TV company, Anna Lihashva, cited several fundamental rules of copywriting on the Web. Anna was filled up with questions - in the practice of photographers there are many situations in which professional legal advice is needed. The result can be done alone - you can defend your copyright, but in practice there are no such cases in Krasnodar.
The third section was held in the format of an open discussion. Moderator Sergey Karpov gave the floor to each expert in different areas of photography:
- Viktor Khmel (photo artist, teacher of KSUKI at the Department of Design, specialization photo design) presented art photography and, summing up the complex discussion, said that art photography in Krasnodar improves its level, young and talented authors appear who must be given the opportunity to exhibit and develop .
- Roman Blagov (a popular wedding photographer, editor-in-chief of Marrige magazine) was also optimistic in his field — wedding photography: “The level of supply in Krasnodar is a cut above many regions of Russia,” he stressed.
- Mikhail Mordasov believes in photojournalism in the regions, as there are now many ways to communicate with news agencies that a professional photojournalist can work for.
Quite a lot of actual problems were raised in the open discussion - the lack of a regular unit of Bild Editors in Krasnodar publications, the complexity of teaching this position, as well as photography in general, the level of professional photographers. The participants spoke about their experiences, argued and called for work on quality.

The first PhotoCamp was visited by about 50 people, including photographers, designers, editors, and directors of online media.
