SAN DIEGO, CALIF (MMD Newswire) July 1, 2009 -- Nikon, Inc., the world's most recognized professional camera manufacturer, has selected local photographer, Ed Masterson to be featured in the Summer edition of Nikon World-an honor bestowed to only 12 photographers annually. Nikon selects the 12 photographers from thousands worldwide based upon their creativity and unique approach to the photographic arts.

Nikon was first introduced to Masterson's work through "Visions", a collection of Masterson's fine art photography. The book captures the unexpected beauty in everyday, mundane objects such as a fire hydrant or an asphalt patch. "When I look at a scene, I ask myself, 'what am I not seeing?'-that's what I want to capture," Masterson states. It was this unusual approach to subject matter and mood that Nikon recognized.

As a successful commercial photographer and designer for over 30 years in San Diego, Masterson had never promoted his personal work until this year. "It is such an honor to be recognized by Nikon for my fine art," Masterson says. "I am happy to share my non-commercial vision with Nikon World."

Masterson, resides in Carmel Valley and is building upon this new found recognition by partnering with Kodak and Nikon for national exhibitions and auctions benefiting various charities close to Masterson's heart.
