Perry Oosting, CEO of Hasselblad
Perry Oosting, CEO of Hasselblad has been on the job for just under 2 years.  During this time he has been challenged with bringing Hasselblad back to its roots and preparing the company to meet the challenges of the ever-changing photography market.  To his credit he realized that Hasselblad was headed downhill with the blinged out, re-badged third party cameras.

Photography is my passion and has been for 45 plus years. My career in photography has allowed me to travel the world, meet some of the most interesting people on the planet and see things I could never have dreamed of. My goal is to share the passion of pictures taking through photographs and teaching with as many people as I can hoping it brings them as much joy and happiness as it has me. I do this through Rockhopper Workshops and other projects as well as teaching at my Gallery in Indianapolis.
