Vincent Isola has been a professional photographer for over 25 years. He started his successful transition from film to digital imaging in 1995.

He is one of 50 members of a prestigious group, “Explorers of Light and Printmasters,” sponsored by Canon U.S.A., Inc. According to Canon, "Explorers of Light and Printmasters are among some of the top photographers in the world working in diverse photographic disciplines such as journalism, nature, fashion, fine-art, portrait and commercial photography". Canon has assembled this group of the world's leading professional photographers to provide insight, inspiration and education to
future generations of creative photographers.

Panel members present seminars, workshops, gallery showings and photo presentations at a variety of professional association and amateur photo groups and colleges across the country as a means of fostering imaging excellence and nurturing digital imaging as photography transitions to this
exciting medium.

"The Explorers of Light program is, in the purest sense of the word, a mentoring program; a means of sharing hard-earned knowledge and expertise and of actually shedding light on the intricacies of imaging of all sorts," explained Yukiaki Hashimoto, senior vice president and general manager of the Consumer Imaging Group at Canon U.S.A., Inc. "It is a bridge between the professional photo community and coming amateur photographers, some of whom will move us, challenge us, make us laugh and make us cry with their images and their vision."

Vincent has won numerous awards for his work and teaches digital capture, fine art archival pigment printing and lighting techniques to photographers throughout the country. He has been a platform presenter at Macworld, Imaging USA (Professional Photographers of America) and WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International). He has presented at Adobe Systems Headquarters in San Jose and to many professional and amateur local and international photographic organizations.

Vin's work and articles have been featured in many publications, including; Architecture Digest, The Professional Photographer, Rangefinder, Great
Output, Modern Bride, Martha Stewart Weddings, Designer's Illustrated, Brides.com, Wedding's West, Pennisula Magazine, Shutterbug and the PPA
Loan Collections Books.

His corporate clients include Adobe Systems, Apple Computer, Bank of America, Cisco Systems, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, IBM, KPMG, Laser-card
Systems, Microsoft, Motorola, National Semiconductor, Oracle, Pottery Barn, 3 Ware, Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems, Stanford University, Velodyne Acoustics, and Xerox
