Nikon - The expert’s choice.

We have many expert and award-winning speakers this year, ready to part with their highly prized knowledge and experience.

The seminars fill on a first-come, first-serve basis, so don’t miss out on these amazing photographer talks. Take a look at this prestigious line-up.

Photographer Alex Bailey has worked as a film stills photographer on over 50 productions including RocknRolla, Atonement and Tomb Raider. A career that started in a local newspaper darkroom with a determination to succeed and just two qualifications, a driving licence and a City & Guilds in photography, his experience as one of the leading photographers in the industry now spans more that 25 years.

“I was brought up on Nikon cameras and have remained faithful ever since, with absolutely no regret. On a film set I work with two high-end digital SLR cameras, shooting in raw mode and on my latest feature, Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes, I started with a D3. I can not possibly imagine that a better camera can be made, the all-round functionality and ability to work in a demanding professional environment covering a range of photographic situations is second to none.”

Acclaimed wildlife expert Andy Rouse is renowned for his dramatic action and close-up shots, which have won him many awards. A pro for over 11 years, he made the switch in December 2007.

‘The D3 felt right in my hand the first time I used it and it’s felt right ever since. It’s responsive, trustworthy, with incredibly accurate exposure, outstanding tonal range and AF which works like a dream. With the D3, there’s no doubt that it’s going to get the shots that I want.’
