Jacqueline Tobin

Jacqueline Tobin started her career in 1986 as an editor and writer at Photo District News right out of Cornell University. PDN’s publisher later handpicked Jacqueline to take over its sister publication, the 70-year-old photo brand Rangefinder, in 2011. There, she served as Editor-in-Chief for 12 years. During that time, she authored two successful photo business books—Wedding Photography Unveiled: Inspiration and Insight From 20 Top Photographers (Amphoto 2009) and The Luminous Portrait: Capture the Beauty of Natural Light for Glowing, Flattering Photographs (Amphoto 20012). From 2023-2024, she served as Managing Editor and Real Weddings Editor at World’s Best Wedding Photos, an invite-only, member directory of the most talented wedding photographers around the world. She also recently spoke at Tanya Smith’s The Mastery Summit: Art + Business for Portrait Photographers, with an online presentation on how to curate your portfolio for lasting brand success. These days, Jacqueline resides in NYC and continues to be a fierce supporter of photographers and the art form of photography.
