The US Editor of Digital Camera World, Hillary K. Grigonis has more than a decade of experience in journalism with a focus on photography and technology. Her work has appeared in Business Insider, Digital Trends, Pocket-lint, Rangefinder, The Phoblographer, and more.
A current Fujifilm and former Nikon shooter, her background in reviewing camera gear means she’s handled everything from cheap Instax to medium format mirrorless. Her camera bag includes a wide range of gear from a DJI drone to a newly added vintage film SLR.
On the weekends, she photographs portraits and weddings at Hillary K Photography. As a former photojournalist, her work favors a mix of documentary and posed styles. While she’s turned her passion for photography into a career, she still considers photowalks a break from work, while she also includes reading, hiking, kayaking, and camping among her most-loved hobbies.
