Skip Nelson welcomes you of his photographic, video and advertising business in Edmonds, Washington.

Mr. Nelson, a native Washingtonian from Kent, started taking pictures seriously while serving with the U.S. Army in Vietnam in 1967 and 1968.       

In 1971, while working as a producer for a local cable television station, Channel 10, in Palm Desert, California, he photographed then  President Richard M. Nixon  at the dedication of Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, and was subsequently honored with a cover shot on CATV Magazine, a national industrial publication.            

In 1977, Mr. Nelson applied to and was accepted at  Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California, regarded as one of the finest photography schools in the world.          

After studying at Brooks Institute, Mr. Nelson returned home to the town of Palm Desert, California, near Palm Springs, and started his professional photographic career  and created Zone Five Productions, which eventually, morphed into Image Tree Productions in 1983.     

While in Palm Desert Skip Nelson was also one of the private photographers for former President, Gerald R. Ford.       

In 2004 Image Tree Productions, to embrace the larger media field, became  Image Tree Media.  In 2012, in response to the dominance of digital photography and digital media, the company became White Lotus Digital Media.          

In this new venture in Edmonds, Skip hopes to do more of the fine quality jewelry and product illustration, interior and exterior design work he has done in the past, but also sees possibilities to expand into many other areas,including wedding videos, legal and insurance photography,  graphic arts, media and web design, while continuing to travel and capture images of the world and the people that inhabit it.
