Adobe launches Lightroom Ambassador program

16 May

Lightroom, a leading photo editing and organization software program from Adobe, now has its own Ambassador program. The product’s Marketing Manager for Photography, Pei Ketron, announced that she is ‘happy to have finally launched this program that I spent much of 2019 working on.’

‘Now more than ever, you live with a camera in your hand, ready to capture every moment. You want your photographs to reflect what you see, to tell the stories you want to tell, to match the vision you had when you captured the image. But cameras don’t always see what you see, and they don’t come equipped with inspiration or expertise. Only people can offer that,’ reads the introductory paragraph on the Lightroom Ambassador Program’s home page.

Ketron’s hope is that the community grows over time and its members, from beginners to seasoned photographers, continue to inspire each other. 10 ambassadors are currently on board to kick off the initiative: Aundre Larrow, Carmen Chan, Gloria Atanmo, Jennifer Chong, Johnie Gall, Mylo Fowler, Omar Robles, Paola Franqui, Summer Murdock, and Tobi Shinobi.

Adobe Lightroom is available on macOS, iOS, Android, Windows, and tvOS. Any questions about the Ambassador Program can be addressed to lightroomambassador@adobe.com.

Australian Nikon ambassador Dale Sharpe, 36, killed in tragic roadside accident

23 Jun

Dale Sharpe, an Australian storm-chaser, landscape photographer and Nikon Ambassador has passed away after a tragic roadside accident while in the United States.

According to The Wichita Eagle, a local paper in Kansas, Sharpe was killed when he was hit by a vehicle after suffering car problems of his own.

The report says Sharpe was traveling northbound on highway K-2 when his vehicle made contact with a deer and ultimately came to a stop in the southbound lane due to the damage not long after midnight on June 20, 2019, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol crash report.

In an effort to seek safety while making a call for assistance, Sharpe moved to the side of the road. Shortly after, a vehicle traveling southbound attempted to avoid Sharpe’s broken-down vehicle when it swerved off the road and into the same ditch Sharpe had attempted to run to for safety. Sharpe was taken to Harper County Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 2:14 a.m. local time.

The driver of the vehicle who hit Sharpe was unharmed. A Kansas Highway Patrol spokesperson told The Wichita Eagle that the 45-year-old man driving the vehicle was ‘driving in accordance to the law and will not be charged.’

Sharpe, who was 36 years old, is survived by his wife, Karlie Russell, who served as a partner in their photography business, DK Photography, as well as his daughter, Mia.

In a statement to DPReview, Nikon Inc. said ‘We are deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Dale Sharpe. He was a talented photographer and a valued member of our community. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to his family, friends and all those that he inspired through his work.’

Two separate GoFundMe campaigns (’Bring Dale Home’ and ‘Memorial Fund for Dale Sharpe DK Photography’) have been set up for the Russell family. Per the DK Photography Facebook post, DPReview did not contact anyone to verify the GoFundMe campaigns out of respect for their privacy.
