Jack Howard first picked up an SLR camera as a teenager over twenty years ago and has been exploring the photographic process ever since. Starting in the wet darkroom and now exploring cutting-edge digital imaging techniques, he's thoroughly embraced the evolution of the photographic process.
Currently Jack is the Director of New and Social Media for Adorama Camera where
he blogs and podcasts about all matters photographic. He was previously the Editor of PopPhoto.com, the online home of "Popular Photography" and "American Photo" magazines. He has written articles for PC Photo, ALC, and more. He is also an established photojournalist whose work has appeared in "The New York Times," "The Star-Ledger", "The Asbury Park Press" and many other newspapers.
Jack has also recently published his first full-length book, Practical HDRI: High Dynamic Range Imaging for Photographers for Rocky Nook, Inc. He has also published a Quick Start eBook for O'Reilly, also on High Dynamic Range Imaging.
Jack holds a Bachelor of the Arts Degree in History, with Minors in English and American Studies from Rutgers University. His photographic skills are self-taught, although having a photographer for a father and two brothers who are also mad for cameras has helped a lot along the way.
Jack lives in New Jersey with his wife Corey; their German Shepherd Dog, Bailey, a betta fish, Finn, and more camera gadgets than you can shake a stick at.
When not out shooting for assignments or writing about photography, Jack and Corey travel the world as much as possible, enjoying good food and drink, snorkeling, skiing and snowboarding, and seeing and experiencing new things wherever their travels take them.
