Nigel Barker Dishes Out Photography Tips at 2010 CES

Professional photographer Nigel Barker definitely knows his way around a camera, so it's only natural that Sony would call upon him at this year's CES to answer photography questions submitted by inquiring Twitter users. When Nigel isn't giving models his two cents on the set of America's Next Top Model, he's either out playing with his laptops or off shooting in some exotic and distant locale. Read more
