Paul Van Allen is an internationally published photographer and author. A Nikon

employee for over 30 years, Paul is currently part of the Nikon Professional Services

team. One of Paul's skills on which Nikon has come to rely is his unusual ability to take

extremely complex photographic technologies and concepts and distill them down so

that they are easily understandable. Paul leans on this ability along with a mixture of

images and humor to create and present entertaining and informative programs in his

position at Nikon. Paul’s passion for teaching is only overshadowed by his desire to

learn that “next new thing”. Having started his professional career as a staff shooter for

a sports magazine, his recent photographic interest and specialities include topics as

diverse as Wireless Flash Portraits and Milky Way Landscapes. Through personal

projects and professional assignments Paul is extremely well versed in nearly

everything Nikon.
