Melville, NY—To complement the summer concert season, Nikon is launching “NikonLive” (
nikonlive.com) as part of its sponsorship of the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater with Live Nation.
The site will provide music fans with photography content, including tips about shooting concerts and images by professional photographers—while integrating music, photography and social media to enable fans and artists to share personal concert experiences.
Fans will be able to view images taken by performing artists in the site’s Sound Check area, and view professionally photographed images in the Rock and Roll Picture Show area. Nikon’s professional photographers will give fans an exclusive, behind the scenes look at their favorite music acts, as well as provide fans with advice and tips on how to shoot images and video with their digital cameras.
Additionally, fans will be invited to participate in the Cool Shot contests for the chance to win a “Rock Star Flyaway” trip to the concert of their choice at the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater or a Live Nation club show in New York. Information on this contest is available at
NikonLive.com.
“Nikon is excited to again team up with the world’s largest live entertainment company, Live Nation to connect with music fans,” said Bo Kajiwara, director of Marketing, Nikon Inc. “We think music is a compelling platform for Nikon to engage music and photography lovers who capture and share their music moments through photographic images.”
In addition to visiting
nikonlive.com, fans can follow updates from other fans along with bloggers, photographers and participating artists by using the Twitter hashtag #NikonLive and by visiting the Nikon Facebook Fan Page at
facebook.com/nikon.
Nikon at Jones Beach Theater is the outdoor amphitheatre located at Jones Beach State Park in Wantagh, New York, attracting some of today’s biggest stars and over 300,000 music fans every summer.
