Salt Lake Tribune Photographer – Trent Nelson

Turns out, one of my favorite people is also one of my favorite photographers. I’ve known Trent Nelson for at least 20 years. But it’s not that often that I get a chance to see him. So I was pleased as punch when he came by my office today to say hello.

Trent is the Chief Photographer at the Salt Lake Tribune and has been the Utah News Photographer of the Year three times. His assignments have taken him all over the world, like Africa, Honduras, and Ogden. (I’m just guessing he’s been to Ogden. He didn’t tell me anything about going there. Imagine bragging about going to Ogden. And by the way, he didn’t brag about anything).

From the bio on his website: His 2003 composite photograph of Utah Jazz point guard John Stockton was published over six pages in Sports Illustrated, the largest photograph in the history of the magazine.

Fun to see Trent in the spotlight. He happens to be one of my favorite people too! Nice pictures.

Great pictures of a really great guy. I love how you said he’s very talented, yet very humble.

Photographers seem to know how to be photographed..

He drives me crazy with his humbleness, but it is one of the best things about him. Rock on Justin!
