About the Juror
Rob Van Petten grew up in a Navy family and traveled extensively. He began documenting family travels in Japan at age 10. At 12 he borrowed his father’s Nikon and never gave it back.
After completing his degree in photojournalism from Boston University, Rob continued traveling the world creating brand images for Gillette, Timberland, Tommy Hilfiger, Etonic, Rockport, Levi’s, Bose, Kodak, and Polaroid, among others. Rob then specialized in fashion images including Reebok, Proctor & Gamble, Talbots, Clairol, Converse, A & E TV, Time Life and Warner Bros. He has worked on the introductory promotional campaigns for the Nikon D3x and the D800 cameras.
Over the past 30 years Rob has won numerous Communications Arts, Art Directors Club, and Andy Awards. He has been featured in Photo District News, American Photo, Petersen’s Photographic, Studio Photography & Design, and Digital Photo Pro. He has endorsements with Nikon, Dyna-lite and several other photographic equipment manufacturers.
Rob is an avid photo educator and speaker. He was Director of the Photography Program at the Center for Digital Imaging Arts at Boston University. Rob speaks regularly on digital imaging topics for the Mentor Series, the Photo Plus Expo, and PMA. Recently his articles have appeared in Nikon World, Digital Photo Pro, and My Nikon World on Facebook. He is also a moderator of the Nikon Digital Learning Center on Flickr.
Rob is convinced that the power of photography is a force to implement global cultural tolerance.
