Dixie Dixon is no longer a Nikon USA Ambassador as of 04/09/2026.
I have reached out to her to get her side of the story. Was she kicked out or did she leave on her own accord? Is she shooting another brand of camera and lenses? I hope to find out soon. All references to the Nikon Ambassador program have been removed from her website.
This was her written profile on the Nikon USA website which has now been removed:
Dixie Dixon is a Texas born and bred commercial fashion photographer. She was given her first Nikon Camera, a Nikon FG, at just 12 years old, which piqued her curiosity in the field and served as her sidekick in exploring the world. She would continually clock seven to 10 hours in the darkroom without even realizing it. While in college she studied in London with a world-renowned fashion photographer and became deeply inspired by the beautiful illusion of fashion and commercial photography.
It has been said that her idealistic vision of the world is reflected into every single frame—full of life, beautiful energy, and most of all, soul. Her passion has lead her to shoot internationally in places such as Cannes, Toronto, Vancouver, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Ibiza, and Barcelona recently for various brands, TV shows, commercial campaigns and editorial projects.
“Honestly, I’m an incurable dreamer with a wild imagination. That’s what I truly love about fashion photography—there are no rules, no boundaries, just pure self-expression. Anything your mind can imagine, you have the power to bring to life in a single image or series of pictures. It makes me so happy to be able to work with such amazing creative people day in day out.”
Of course, the above was written when everything was peaches and cream between her and Nikon. Stay tuned to see if I receive a response.
