MIKE HAGEN
![]() |
Professional photographer Mike Hagen has been named to serve as Managing Director of the Nikonians Academy. Hagen has been the driving force behind the highly successful series of North America Nikonians Workshops in the United States and Canada for the past two years. The workshops have earned praise as some of the best photographic training sources available.
Hagen's instructional style through his "Out There Images, Inc." turned out to be a perfect match for the fastest growing international community of Nikon-oriented photographers on the Internet.
Nikonians North America is part of the organization behind the internationally recognized Web-site Nikonians.org, the friendly home for Nikon enthusiasts co-founded six years ago by Bo Stahlbrandt and J. Ramón Palacios, with corporate offices located in Germany.
"Mike
is the living example of the mission Bo and I had from the start,"
said Palacios, who directs all North American operations and publishing
ventures. "We have a proven six year record of concentrating
on making Nikonians an ideal friendly community where photographers
learn and interact in a creative and inspiring environment. Our
number one goal has always been photography education. When we partnered
with Mike we quickly saw that he had exactly the same vision and
would be an ideal leader in developing our training operations in
North America."
Hagen's responsibilities with Nikonians North America will include
providing enhanced workshops as part of the Nikonians Academy approach
in new venues, editorial content, training curriculum and boxed
content for retail outlets.
He will be responsible for the execution of its future strategies, which include recruiting and hiring new Nikonians Academy training staff around North America.
