Jason P. Odell began photography as a childhood hobby in 1983, when he borrowed his mother's Nikkormat EL for a school assignment on photography. Jason's love of nature and the outdoors led him to study biology at UCLA (BS, 1993) and UC Riverside, where he earned his Ph.D. in 2002.  In 2005, Jason moved into digital photography when he got his hands on the newly released Nikon D2x DSLR.  He has been honing his digital post-processing skills ever since.  In 2006, Jason authored his first eBook, The Photographer's Guide to Capture NX.  He followed up that title with The Photographer's Guide to Capture NX2 in 2008 and The Photographer's Guide to Silver Efex Pro in 2009.  Jason enjoys teaching photography workshops from his home in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Rick Walker first started in photography with a Kodak Instamatic 44 at the age of eight. He quickly saw the limitations of that camera, especially for low-light and macro work, and started borrowing his father's SLR when he was ten. His family was living abroad at the time, and Rick quickly took a liking to travel photography in Asia and photographing subjects in tropical jungles. At fourteen, his father got tired of never being able to find his camera and gave him a Nikkormat FT2 for Christmas. That started him down the path of the Nikon system and evolving photographic interests, including photojournalism and darkroom work.

While working on a couple of engineering degrees in college, Rick began teaching photography classes at a local camera store where he worked. That continued over many years and eventually led to his involvement with the Image Doctors podcast, workshops in the field and further classes and tutoring. In addition to his film experience, which continues to this day, Rick adopted digital in early 2003 when Nikon he purchased a D100. Although not initially enthused, he grew to appreciate the medium. He rapidly increased his knowledge of photographic post-processing and editing due to its heightened importance with digital photography and retired his chemical darkroom permanently.

Rick still continues to enjoy his first two photographic loves, travel and nature, and you can see his work at www.geo-vista.com.

He is based in the US in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
