Sam Hurd and Dixie Dixon may target different photo markets, yet they both prioritize craft and emphasize a human connection to their subjects. In this week's episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, we get the lowdown on their respective careers in wedding photography and fashion/lifestyle assignment work as part of our coverage of B&H's 2023 Depth of Field Conference. Above photograph © Dixie Dixon We start with Sam Hurd, who shares the story behind his decision to shift from photographic storyteller to craftsman. He also describes how switching to mirrorless cameras has changed his process. Sam's superpower is his inventive Ring of Fire technique for creative flare, and we discuss this in depth, while also touching on everything from image quality and lens design to the promise of AI-generating tools and the elements that get lost in the exchange. After a break, we chat with Nikon Ambassador Dixie Dixon, who describes how making a connection with your subjects begins with detailed research well before the shoot day. She regales us with tales from major advertising projects, including how her efforts to get a release for a Ford Mustang led her to the company's CEO. Get a first alert on her next book project and hear how her recent forays into video and directing tv commercials earned her a coveted advertising award.

Welcome back to FOCUS & FACETS! In this episode, I am over the moon to welcome my sweet friend, and fellow Nikon Ambassador, Dixie Dixon. Believe it or not - Dixie got her to start behind the camera shooting little league teams and players when she was quite young, joined the yearbook staff in high school in an effort to get out of band camp, and as fate would have it - she fell in love with photography! In college, she shot weddings and had the opportunity to study abroad within the realm of fashion photography which gave her a taste of her present-day niche of commercial and fashion photography. And, let me tell you - she is insanely talented - and we're chatting all about her incredible skills, our favorite Nikon gear (of course!), and the brand and business she's built that so many notable names and businesses know and trust.

On this episode of The Angry Millennial, we're chatting with Nikon Ambassador, speaker, + commercial fashion photographer, Dixie Dixon. Dixie Dixon is quite an amazing testament to how hard work, shooting all the time, and networking can catapult your career like hers has in just six short years. After winning a contest in college to go to WPPI on a scholarship, she met with the Head of Marketing of Nikon, which led to her shooting a camera campaign for them shortly after and later becoming a Nikon Ambassador. We chat about her involvement in the latest Nikon D5 campaign, how studying aboard in London through a Syracuse University program and assisting some of the European greats helped launch her career. Like most AM guests, Dixie has been on CreativeLive for fashion lighting as she grew a following around her style work. We talk about how through a commercial career you quickly realize how to give honest upfront feedback to your team to make sure no one wastes their time and more on this episode of The Angry Millennial. Remember to always use #theangrymillennial on social media + follow @millennialangry on Twitter to ask any questions you'd like any of the upcoming guests to answer during the show.
From an early age Dixie Dixon loved taking pictures and using the darkroom in her parents home. She had been exposed to photography by her father and it had been somewhat of a tradition passed down in the family. She split her creative time between a love of photography and a love of music. She played in a lot of bands growing up, giving her an opportunity to perfect her performance chops that would later come in handy as a public speaker. Once she went to college, she opted to focus most of her attention on business in an entrepreneur program, but continued to study art and photography as well. On a whim, she decided to try and apply for a study abroad program in Europe. She ended up assisting a fashion photographer and learning a lot about lighting, as well as the interaction between the photographer and the model. Many more opportunities would arise, and soon Dixie found herself in demand and shooting for a TV show that had her traveling the world. Dixie has gone on to have a very successful career for such a young commercial photographer. She has an ever-growing list of high profile clients and the honor of calling herself a Nikon Ambassador.
