Nikon plans to support these creators by helping to bring their visions to life and developing a brand relationship. They are encouraged to create what moves them, while using Nikon’s gear, resources as well as educational platforms. Nikon designed the program as a blank canvas, where the partners can teach what they love and create without boundaries. In addition, Nikon Creators Official Partners will exist alongside the professionals in Nikon’s prestigious Ambassador program.
The diverse group of nine artists are social savvy. They also exemplify a wide range of photo and video disciplines. This emerging generation of creators came up in a different era, paving a path in nontraditional ways, which Nikon actively embraces.
