These newest FUJIFILM Creators began their journeys with Fujifilm in 2020 as Collaborators, the primary level of Fujifilm’s professional photographer alliance program. As Collaborators, they each pitched a project and worked with FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Electronic Imaging Division’s marketing team to establish their stories, create images and build connections. Through outstanding work on their individual projects, they were each selected as FUJIFILM Creators via Fujifilm’s competitive application process. The coveted spots on the FUJIFILM Creators team are filled once a year, in August. 

“We’re both proud and excited to introduce our newest FUJIFILM Creators,” said Victor Ha, senior director of marketing and product management for FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Electronic Imaging Division. “Our three newest Creators blew us away with their talent, hard work and creativity, which earned them their spots on the FUJIFILM Creators team. Their outstanding achievements as FUJIFILM Collaborators paved the way for this exciting, level-up opportunity. We can’t wait to see what’s next for this talented group.”
