We're feeling extra thankful this Thanksgiving for opportunities that allow the Nikon team to bond and grow. These moments were captured during a photo walk in New York City with some of the members that bring the brand to life. 💛

What is Nikon Creators Camp? 📸   It is an invite-only workshop that gives talented photographers from around the country the opportunity to be one of the first to try out the newest Nikon gear.   Creator Camp V in Austin, Texas was dedicated to the recently launched Nikon Z5II mirrorless camera and was hosted by Nikon Ambassador Todd Owyoung. 🎸   Ten Creators Camp attendees put the Nikon Z5II to the test in various settings: concert photography featuring The Summer Set, light painting in the Texan wilderness, and portrait photography at Austin staples.   As a result of Creators Camp V, we were able to receive feedback in real time on the new camera and ultimately foster and nurture  relationships with these inspiring individuals.

The Houston stop on the #NikonTour was unbelievable! 👏   Over 460 people attended our 5-day visit in Houston, Texas where photographers Danny Batista, Arturo Carrillo and Jyasi Galloway shared their expertise through guided photo walks and studio sessions.   🚜 Lush gardens & scenic landscapes at Havenly Farm 📸 Portrait photography at Orbit Studios 💐 Nature photography at Hermann Park 🏢 Exterior shots at the Museum of Fine Arts ☀️ Capturing with natural light at Waterwall Park   Whether you're a seasoned professional or have never picked up a camera, all are welcome on the Nikon Tour to learn new skills, explore unique places in your local city and make connections with likeminded individuals.   Keep tabs on our whereabouts: www.nikonusa.com/tour

The inaugural Vimeo Short Film Grant, presented by Nikon and RED Digital Cinema, held a screening event in New York City to celebrate emerging filmmakers and their bold storytelling. 🎥   The five film grant winners were each awarded with $30,000 grants for the production of their films, access and training to Nikon and RED cameras in addition to mentorship with celebrated filmmakers.   At this screening, each winner introduced the inspiration for their works and shared a short preview of their films, with genres ranging from dramas to digital animation.   Over 75 people were in attendance, including film industry professionals based in NYC as well as Vimeo, Nikon and RED employees.

What’s the best piece of career advice you ever received? 🎙️   Whether you're just starting out or are a seasoned professional, there's always a chance to learn and grow.   We asked several Nikon Ambassadors and Creators to share their best advice for photographers and filmmakers at any level and this is what they said...   Featuring Preston Luke, Rod Mar, Tina Sokolovska, Gilmar Smith, Chloe Ramirez, Danny Barrera, Ryan Lockard, Aaron Pegg and Staci Brucks.

The #NikonTour Kiosk took over Pier 17 in NYC! 🏙️🎃   With picturesque views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan, we welcomed hundreds of visitors this past weekend with an opportunity to capture the scenery with the Nikon Z5II and Z50II.   Photographers Joshua F. Dwain and Brandon Woelfel also made an appearance and captured approximately 960 portraits in our kiosk booth and at the Seaport Pumpkin Arch.   With each installment of the Nikon Tour, having the opportunity to connect with consumers in real life has provided us with insights to improve our customer experience both in-person and online.

Happy Nikon Health Day! 💛   Earlier this week, our teams took a well-deserved pause to focus on what matters most — our health and well-being. From massage therapy, reflexology, reiki, and aromatherapy to wellness screenings, a smoothie bar, and sea salt hand scrubs, it was a day to recharge, reconnect, and remind ourselves that taking care of our health helps us show up as our best selves — at work and beyond.   A big thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success and supported our focus on employee well-being!
