We are currently confirming faculty for 2008, and below is a list of faculty already confirmed for the week. We will post additional faculty to this page as they are confirmed, with a specific focus on photojournalism, documentary and travel photography. Be aware, however, that even when posted, most of our faculty are working professionals and last minute cancellations/substitutions may occur.

William Albert Allard

One of the National Geographic's most prolific and talented photographers, Allard's artistry has resulted in some of the Geographic's most memorable stories and individual pictures. Full of vigor, Allard's critiques are classics and his no-mince-words approach embraces insightful and useful advice. He is always one of the Summit's most popular faculty members.

Carolyn Cole

A staff photographer for the Los Angeles Times, where she has spent 12 years covering national and international news. Her courageous and prolific work across the world's hot spots over the last decade has has garnered attention and awards from World Press Photo, the Robert Capa Courage in Photojournalism, the Pulitzer Prize. Most recently in 2007, Cole was named Photojournalist of the Year in the NPPA's Best of Photojournalism competition

MaryAnne Golon

Director of photography of Time magazine, where in recent years, great photojournalism is a prized part of the editorial content of a magazine that began as a text-driven journal. When the old weekly LIFE magazine went away, Time began using pictures in new ways. But over the years, content-driven great photographs of the weeks' events have never been used better nor showcased more effectively than the Time of today. Under her watch, Time covers the events of the world with the most talented photojournalists and every week, shows its readers things beyond the daily newspapers and television. Golon is an enthusiastic and discriminating lover of great photographs and as a Summit Workshop veteran, is one of the most popular faculty members.

Jim Richardson

Has work appearing regularly in National Geographic magazine and National Geographic Traveler in addition to Geographic books. Though not a staff photographer, he is on assignement for NGS projects almost full time and for good reason. Richardson, a onetime newspaper photographer in Kansas and Colorado, brings amazing story-telling techniques along with detailed research to his pictures. Thirty years ago, he began photographing the area around his hometown in north central Kansas. The result was a series of picture stories that combined, among other things, an award-winning audio-visual presentation about Cuba, Kansas. In 2004, the Geographic sent him back to those same places, resulting in a sensative look -- now and then -- at small town America.

Bob Smith

After more than 20 years building his own Colorado-based nature photography business Elk Meadow Images, Smith relocated to Jackson in 2006 to manage Tom Mangelsen's Images of Nature archive and continue his own photography. Smith has also spent 20 years as an account executive and digital consultant with Apple computer. He is a frequent staff member of the Summit Series of Workshops.

Joey Terrill

A Los Angeles-based corporate and editorial photographer with a long and varied career in photography, in recent years migrating towards his passions for environmental portraits and studio/location lighting. A prior attendee of the workshops in the mid 1990s, he's now a regular faculty member, with a talent for effectively communicating the principles of controlled lighting in terms anyone can understand. His portrait talents are regularly tapped by commercial clients as well as Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, People and other leading publications.
