background

I'M NINA BAILEY

Author, Photographer, Canon Specialist Tutor

A lifelong Canon user...

I have an unrivalled knowledge of Canon cameras, which in part stems from the fact that I’ve only ever shot with Canon gear throughout my career. I have an intrinsically curious nature and love all things technical. When working at Canon UK, I was responsible for demonstrating and teaching dealers about the more technical aspects of cameras.

There’s no doubt that cameras have become increasingly complex over the years!

...with a passion for teaching

My role at Canon then naturally led to wanting to teach amateur and enthusiast photographers how to use these complicated bits of kit, something I’ve done since the turn of the millennium.

When writing my books and magazine, I ensure that I get to know every single Canon EOS camera. I do this by reading the manuals, Canon white papers and, most importantly, testing every feature that’s on a camera. Whilst they all share the same core features, it’s vital for me to keep my knowledge up-to-date, and so getting out in the field with a new camera is vital for me to teach effectively about its new features.

This means that whichever way you learn from me – through my books or training courses – you’re guaranteed up-to-date and thorough knowledge that’s relevant to you and your Canon EOS camera.


I WRITE

Author of more than 100 books, I’m also the current Technical Editor of EOS magazine. I’m dyslexic, so I use modern tools to help me write. This makes some people feel that I’m really talking to them through my writing, as if I’m sitting there in the room, teaching them how to use their camera.


I TEACH

Explaining to people how to use their camera is what makes my soul sing. I love to teach, and do so without compromise as Senior Tutor at EOS Training Academy. The satisfaction I feel at the end of a training session when you have mastered your camera is why I teach.


I SHOOT

Teaching – whether through videos, articles or my books – requires images to illustrate the point. My strength is comparison shots, the before and after, but I also shoot commercially on occasions. I am an all-rounder, but if I had to pick a favourite subject to shoot, it would be travel.
