End Of Year Judge - Elliot Stern
Thanks to his dad, Elliot has been involved with things photographic since he
was about 5 years old and working in his dad's darkroom. His passion for the art
and what can be created through photographic capture has grown stronger year
after year.
His dad now 93 years old , taught him a great deal about photography and it has
been a most wonderful experience for Elliot to teach his dad digital
photography. Even at 93 he is still shooting pictures and printing them.
Elliot's career, which spans over fifty years if he includes his dad's darkroom,
has taken him into many different areas of the photographic world. He has been a
portrait photographer, wedding photographer, photo journalist, nature and scenic
photographer, architectural photographer, military photographer, and a recorder
of memories and history in those capacities. He has lectured, performed classes,
and educated countless numbers of people about photography and digital workflow
across the country and now wants to bring his experiences and knowledge to Blue
Ridge Workshops.
He worked for Nikon for 33 years, selling and teaching and it gave him the
incredible opportunity to be in the forefront of the digital revolution and
certainly gave him the opportunity to learn all of the new technologies and deal
with all of the challenges that those technologies brought with them. Having
dealt with all those challenges has helped him teach the concepts of digital
imaging and digital work flow to a great many aspiring photographers.
After retiring from Nikon, Elliot worked in the Photo Retail end of the
business, always hoping to create a company like Blue Ridge Workshops which
would allow him to do the things he loved most, which was shoot images and
teach. While in retail he did very advanced classes on Nikon single lens reflex
cameras, and digital workflow.
The workshops that he now gives at Blue Ridge Workshops are very important to
Elliot. They give him an opportunity to pass on his knowledge and experiences to
others in a comfortable, easy to learning environment. By becoming the educator
and bringing in other educators, each with their own particular slants on
photography, he is finally achieving his dream - creating some of the best
photography workshops available. He enjoys teaching others and expanding their
knowledge, so they can record their world in new, different and creative ways.
Your images today can influence your world of tomorrow and tell your story in a
way that nothing else can.
Elliot's current choice of equipment is Nikon Digital Single lens reflex cameras
and lenses and flashes. But as Elliot has quite often stated, "there is not a
bad digital single lens reflex in the market place. They are all capable of
producing incredible images, but never on their own."
