New York, NY, July 15, 2008 - PhotoShelter Inc., the leading online destination where more than 37,000 photographers sell stock photography and access powerful solutions for e-commerce and image storage, today released the full speaker agenda for its Shoot!

The day's event will also include an in-depth look at the creation of a national advertising campaign that utilizes stock photography in a case study delivered by Rachel Rein, art buyer at ad agency Hill Holliday, New York.

Shoot! The Day, a worldwide event designed to revitalize the stock photography industry, will mobilize thousands of photographers across the globe to connect, take pictures and learn. Billed as a free day of demos and dialogue, the New York City gathering will take place from noon to 7:00 p.m. at Shoot Digital Studios and will include a full afternoon of keynote speakers and panels. In one studio, magazine photo editors, ad agency art directors and art buyers will share their stock photography insights with attendees. A second studio will contain speakers focusing on best practices in photographer technique, workflow management and business success. In a third studio attendees will be able to meet representatives and demo products from top equipment manufacturers, service providers and industry organizations.

Nikon D700 D-SLR Introduction
During the New York City gathering, Nikon will display its new D700 FX-format digital SLR camera. This will be one of the first public events where attendees can experience the D700's stunning image quality, accurate color reproduction and revolutionary low-light performance. In addition, the 20 PhotoShelter members selected from more than 750 applicants to participate in the live, fully equipped photo shoots taking place during Shoot! The Day will be using the D700, capturing images in five major categories where stock photo buyers say they find the industry-wide selection to be lacking freshness and diversity.

"We're thrilled to introduce the D700 for the hundreds of advanced and professional photographers attending PhotoShelter's Shoot! The Day event," said Edward Fasano, general manager for marketing, SLR System Products, at Nikon, Inc. "As the exclusive equipment sponsor of this event, we're excited to join PhotoShelter in driving innovation in the stock photo industry and to provide attendees with a glimpse of how the technologies incorporated into Nikon FX and DX-format digital SLRs can take their art and business to new levels."
