Steve Ingima

We are honored and grateful to have Steve as one of McNeely Garden Studios distinquished judges for our 2010 Winter Photo Contest. Thank you.

 

 

Steve Inglima is currently the administrator for Canon USA's Explorer of Light program, a professional photographer support and advocacy group.

The Explorers of Light are some of the most talented,recognized, and accomplished photographers in the United States, and I am their liaison with Canon. In addition to administering their contracts, payment, and image submissions, I supply them technical and presentation advice for their activities, and coordinate the orders for their cameras, lenses, and accessories.

 

I also coordinate their appearances at trade shows and organizations across the US. I also review many portfolios and applicants for inclusion in this program...

 

Prior to my working at Canon, I was the large format technical adviser for Schneider Optics, and the Horseman Camera product manager. Being involved with large format was a life goal, and being able to teach the fundamentals of this historically important genre was indeed a privilege.

 

Having been an independent contractor for Konica, and and government sales manager Megavision and others led me to my first experiences in professional and casual use digital imaging.

 

I was a technical adviser for Tamron Lenses after their purchase of the Bronica Medium format camera company in Japan. This was a natural progression of my having been the technical manager for the second distributor Bronica, GMI Photographic. Other product responsibilities included Philips Englargers, Forte Enlarging Papers, Paterson Darkroom Supplies, Sea & Sea Underwater Cameras, Cullmann Professional Tripods, and others.

 

Prior to this, I served years as a technical correspondent at Ehrenreich Photo Optical Industries, the first distributor for both Nikon and Bronica, after having started a carreer as a professional photographer.

I was also a part owner of a darkroom and studio rental business, Horizon Photo, where I taught black and white darkroom and enlarging skills.
