Jim DiVitale: The Creative Edge in Digital Photography

Join ASMP San Diego and the Canon Explorers of Light as bring Jim DiVitale to San Diego for a FREE program on Thursday, March 29th! This program is open to all on a "first come, first served" space-available basis only - so arrive early to get your seat!

Jim DiVitale has been behind the lens for more than 3 decades, producing award-winning advertising photography for ad agencies, design firms, and corporations nationwide. But he's not just a photographer. He's an artist. An educator. A writer. And a pioneer whose vision of the future told him to walk away from film in 1992 and become a digital imaging pacesetter. Today, industry leaders like Adobe, X-Rite, Lensbabies, NIK Software, Canon USA and OnOne Software look to Jim to test future product releases. His opinion influences the state of the art.

His digital photography and photo illustration have been featured in, among others, Graphis Photo, Print, Archive magazine, Create magazine, Creativity, Rangefinder, Professional Photographer, Digital Output magazine, Digital Imaging, Photo District News and After Capture magazine. His commercial clients have included Mizuno USA, Rubbermaid, Remington Medical, SmartSynch, Time Warner Cable, The William Carter Company, Unibind, Toshiba, TEC America, Kenneth Cole, BellSouth, BP Amoco, COX Media, Genuine Parts Company, Solvay Advance Polymers, Witness Systems, JP Morgan Financial, Coca-Cola USA, and Scientific Atlanta. 

As a member of Professional Photographers of America for more than 25 years, Jim has earned the Master of Photography, Master of Electronic Imaging, and Photographic Craftsman degrees, and he's a PPA-Approved Photography instructor. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Photographers, an OnOne Master, Team Nik Member, Lensbaby Guru, a member of Cameracraftsmen of America and a Canon "Explorer of Light." Jim serves as Director of Education for the Digital Imaging Institute for Science and Medicine, working to create training for these areas of digital imaging. 

This event will be hosted by the Museum of Photographic Arts, 1649 El Prado, San Diego CA 92101. A reception will begin at 6:30pm with the program in the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater at 7pm.
