It’s all about the image-makers of tomorrow

It’s been a long-held dream of ours and it’s finally come to life. Vistek is proud to announce the industry’s first photo/video mentoring program. The objective: provide a working program that puts a highly successful working pro in front of students aspiring to become one.

The Vistek Mentor Program launches May 18 at the Ontario College of Art and Design, with Michael Reichmann of Luminous Landscape fame as our first mentor.

The association with OCAD and Michael Reichmann is the first of what will become a long-standing series of collaborations that will match schools with imaging professionals.

Forest Light - Olympic National Park, Washington
May/2010

Vistek is in the process of selecting additional candidates for the prestigious title of mentor. And, at the same time, contacting colleges and universities with film studies as part of their curriculum.

We hope you see the merit in the program and decide to come on board.
