Bio

Phil Nelson started his career in graphic design and film animation at a time when computer graphics technology was expensive and rare. Phil understood earlier than most the value of technology in the graphic arts field and jumped in head first. Putting his design career on hold, Nelson worked at Apple Computer in the mid-eighties and helped drive the desktop publishing revolution. Phil then went on to Adobe Systems to manage major corporate clients in the advertising, publishing, and the entertainment industries.

Nelson specializes in landscape, travel and architectural photography. Aside from producing his own fine art images, Phil has produced images for numerous magazines, corporate and private clients and provides images for stock to Aurora Photos in Portland, Maine. Phil also trains film photographers who want to transition to a digital workflow and has consulted with many businesses on the tricky aspects of digital color management. Phil also works as a contractor for X-Rite Color Services and frequently conducts large events in major cities around the US. Phil is currently recording online and DVD training on Adobe Photoshop Lightroom v2 for Total Training, and is writing a Digital Classroom book on digital photography for Wiley Publishing.
