#NikonCreators is the Call to Create
MELVILLE, N.Y., May 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Today Nikon Inc. has launched the Nikon Creators
Official Partners program, recognizing the driven, innovative and
inspiring content creators that are steering the future of the
creative space. These individuals are avid Nikon Z mirrorless
camera system users, and each represent where the industry is
headed. This program aims to support and amplify the creative
community, partnering with artists who are defining visual
storytelling while documenting their distinctive process.
The diverse group of nine artists are social-savvy and exemplify
a wide range of photo and video disciplines. This emerging
generation of creators came up in a different era, blazing their
own path in non-traditional ways, which Nikon actively embraces.
The primary role of these Nikon Creators Official Partners is to
elevate those around them, whether engaging the large communities
they have built or inspiring their peers with their process of
creating spectacular content.
"The creative landscape and the artists driving it are
evolving faster than ever before. The Nikon Creators Official
Partners is a unique program connecting the brand with a new
generation of visual storytellers while providing them
with the tools they need to tell their stories and push their
creative boundaries," said Naoki
Onozato, President and CEO, Nikon
Inc. "Our partners continue to redefine what it means to be
a creator, and we are excited to support them in their
creative journey."
About the Nikon Creators Official Partners
Nikon plans
to support these creators by helping to bring their unique visions
to life and developing a brand relationship with the freedom to
create what moves them, all while using Nikon's gear, resources and
extensive educational platforms. This experience is a blank canvas,
where they can teach what they love and create without boundaries.
This is a generation that is no stranger to making a statement with
cutting-edge technology and is always looking for ways to adapt
their craft. Nikon Creators Official Partners will exist alongside
the world's foremost professionals in Nikon's prestigious
Ambassador program, producing content and driving engagement that
reflects the unique needs of the creator community.
"It feels like a dream come true to become a Nikon Creators
Official Partner," said Brandon
Woelfel. "Photography isn't just my full-time job; it's
become a core part of who I am. The first camera that jump-started
my photography journey was my grandfather's Nikon film camera, and
I've never looked back since. The brand has truly evolved with me,
offering quality and innovation that I can rely on to bring my
visions to life. It's also about the community I've found among
other Nikon users and the Nikon team. They've always supported me
and my art throughout my journey, and I'll forever be grateful for
the connection we've made."
