Resources - Nikon using Professional Photographers
(plus other notable figures)

The photographers that help to make Nikon the notable company that it is. Click here for interviews and articles about Nikon using professionals.

This list is far from comprehensive (obviously!), so send me a name to add. The only stipulations are that they must be Nikon using professionals (obviously again!) and also have a web site of their own, or a web page with details of who they are and what they photograph.

As a Nikon shooter going back to the days of the SP (wish I still had it), my books always include Nikon-centered content. Mastering Digital Wedding Photography was just named a Shutterbug “Book of the Year” and features a good bit of info on RAW workflow, etc.

The next book is due this spring, “The Official Guide to Photodex Proshow will have a chapter on using Nikon DSLR wireless to create live shows. The slides appear in a running show as they are shot-a really cool tool for events like receptions, etc.

Gene spent fifteen years as a professional guitar player before switching careers. That prior experience has given Gene an invaluable rapport with music and entertainment people.

For JazzTimes Magazine alone he has photographed over 50 covers since 1988. His portraits have appeared in mainstream magazines as well including Time, Newsweek, US, People, U.S. News & World Report, New York Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, and many others worldwide as well as over 300 CD covers. In the book, "The Best of Portrait Photography: Tips & Techniques of the Pros" by the former editor of Peterson Photographic, Gene is ranked among the 50 finest portrait photographers in the country.

I shoot with D3/D300 combinations and my assistants all carry D300’s. I shoot a lot of creative images using the CLS system and often use 4-6 SB800/900’s to create dramatic effects. In the last year I have been shooting a lot of environmental portraits, again utilizing the Nikon CLS system. I teach photography and run occasional CLS training courses for photographers looking to start to explore the CLS system.

Interviews and Articles with/about Nikon using Professionals

August 2010 Rangefinder magazine articles (PDF)

It’s Guest Blog Wednesday featuring Cliff Mautner - ScottKelby
Podcast Conversation with Neil van Niekerk – Taking Your Flash to the next level - CameraDojo
Capturing Images in Winter Gardens by Jason Ingram
"Professional garden photographer Jason Ingram brings an individual approach to all his work, combining his passion for photography and the subject itself. Here he tells Photography Monthly how to look for and capture alluring images in winter gardens."

White ravens have Vancouver Island birders atwitter - Globe and Mail
"Mike Yip, a 66-year-old retired school teacher, heard reports of a sighting in the Qualicum Beach area. Armed with nothing more deadly than a Nikon D300 and his own curiosity, he went in pursuit of an elusive quarry."

July 2010 Rangefinder articles (PDF)

It’s Guest Blog Wednesday featuring Andy Locascio! - Scott Kelby
"Wow. Let me tell you, I never thought this would happen. Guest blogging for Scott Kelby didn’t even come into my dreams it was so crazy. It is an incredible honor to be able to talk about my photography to so many people, and to follow the long list of fantastic photographers that make up the Scott Kelby guest blog “Hall of Fame.”"
Keith Richards by Annie Leibovitz for Louis Vuitton - Strobist
"While we are on the subject of the Photek Softlighter, I thought it fitting to run a BTS video of Annie Leibovitz shooting Keith Richards in a hotel room for Louis Vuitton with that same light mod."
Guest Blog Wednesday featuring Larry Becker - ScottKelby
"I absolutely believe in luck and good fortune. But I don’t believe the ‘Law of Attraction’ works in isolation from preparation and work (usually hard work). You have to get off your butt and do something. You have to be prepared for “luck.” "
Jim Richardson: Notes and Tips From the Field - National Geographic
"After a quarter century of traveling the world on amazing assignments for National Geographic, I'm still learning how to take nonfiction photographs that say more. What underpins my photographs for National Geographic? Pencil-blunting research long before a shoot. On-the-fly camera settings and in-the-field improvisations. And sometimes I just get lucky. Mostly, I never take myself too seriously and I always figure there must be a better way—if I can just figure it out."
Tech Profile of Moose Peterson by Terry White
It’s The 3rd Anniversary of Guest Blog Wednesday ft. Vincent Versace!- ScottKelby
"I am frequently asked what were the events that lead to me becoming a photographer. As is always the case, it began at the beginning. It started with my very first childhood portrait session. You see, I have a confession to make. I was the Gerber baby."

May 2010 Rangefinder articles (PDF)

Peter Turnley's head, hands and feet by Johnthan Castner
"I'm not a collector or one of those people who names their tools like they are pets. Nah, but I do believe that the choices which an artist makes in regards to their tools says something about who they are and certainly how they work."

Guest Blog Wednesday featuring David Bergman - ScottKelby
"I often use remote cameras for my sports assignments, so I decided to put one up at the concert. I mounted a Nikon D3 and 14-24 mm lens right next to Tico Torres’ drum set, looking out at the crowd. During the show, I triggered the camera with my Pocket Wizard whenever I thought it would make a good image."

Haiti: Between Death and Life - the Online Photographer
"This is a significant occasion at The Online Photographer. It marks the first time we've published a significant body of original photojournalism. The following 50-picture photo essay is a World exclusive of new work shot a little more than a week ago by my friend the great photojournalist Peter Turnley."

February 2010 Rangefinder articles

It’s “Guest Blog Wednesday” featuring Laura Heald! at ScottKelby
"To get a job as an assistant you don’t have to know everything about photography, you just have to be open minded and willing to learn.  You have to listen to instruction and be willing to take chances.  Most of all you have to want to work and be flexible."
It’s “Guest Blog Wednesday” featuring Bill Frakes! at ScottKelby
"For me using new stuff to make my work easier is just being lazy.  I need to use it to make the storytelling better.  I carry Nikon cameras that can see in the dark.  I’m amazed at how wonderful they are."

January 2010 Rangefinder articles:

Chase Jarvis interview at CameraLabs
"During some of his rare downtime, I caught-up with Chase to find out about the equipment he uses, his love of social networking and the demands of becoming and being a successful commercial photographer."
Bless Me Father Bob…..by JoeMcNally
"You know, it’s a new year, and it’s time to download the card, freshen up the pixels, clean the lens elements and confess all those photographic sins, which for me, really, are too numerous to count or catalog. As 2009 faded in the rear view mirror, I figured it was time to see Father Bob."

A Visual Interview with Peter Turnley at the TOP
"...the portfolio you're about to look at doesn't do any one story justice. It's not a "greatest hits," either. Rather, it's a linked sequence meant to sketch the broad range and reach of Peter's work and concerns over many years."

December 2009 Rangefinder Magazine articles:

Year in Review by Dave Black
"It is my custom at the end of each year to present a Year In Review article. I find it interesting to re-cap jobs, assignments, and projects that I did over the past 12 months, and to take a little time to reflect and learn, then push onto the new year."

Shuttle Launch STS-129 photos by Scott Diussa

Joe McNally: Control of Color - Part 1
Joe McNally has been described as "perhaps the most versatile photojournalist working today," a distinction earned for his ability to capture compelling images in locations as diverse as an operating room, the top of the Empire State Building and the cockpit of a jet aircraft. Noted for his technical mastery, what makes him unique is his ability to create and imaginatively render "the big idea"—the unique or startling concept that frames a single image or a long-term project.
