Quarterly TV Photography Contest

2003 Region 6 Photographer of the Year

NPPA TV Photography Quarterly Clip Contest

Ted ‘Bud’ Nelson
WTVF-TV, Nashville, TN

“While working part-time at a TV station in college 14 years ago, a photographer’s job came open and I was interested,” Ted says (shown here with daughter Lexie). “I asked a photojournalist at the station about it and expressed my interest. He said, ‘Why? You’ve gotta be crazy to want to be a photographer.’ One thing that helped me establish a style of shooting was watching the NPPA ‘Best Of’ tapes. I’d watch the stories that I liked over and over, to try and understand how the photographer edited a sequence together.”
