Canon Shares Videos Showcasing Famed Photographers From Their Pro Team

In this short video series from Canon, the company’s professional “Explorers of Light” photographers are featured and share their backgrounds of how they got started in the business and what drives them today. Today we hear from Jeremy Cowart, Douglas Kirkland, Damian Strohmeyer, Stephanie Sinclair, and Michel Tcherevkoff.

“Hey, so you must be a photographer?”

“Nah man, I’m an Explorer of Light.”

“Oh…”

Although the name that Canon gives their professional team couldn’t be cheesier, the photographers and cinematographers represented are all at the top of their game. Here are five new videos from Canon to give you a closer look at what these artists do and why they do it.
