About HassyUSA

Hasselblad is proud to present the HassyUSA community, an online blog site customized and created for photographers in the Americas to come together, shoot images, & share the images with other HassyUSA community members with the hopes of being selected as one of the featured photographers in the designated areas (NY, LA, Chicago) that gets to shoot with the new Hasselblad H4D camera for thirty days!

HassyUSA intertwines all the popular social media sites, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, & Flickr, into one site so that photographers can communicate with one another as well as comment on photos.

HassyUSA has featured photographers that will be going around their city with the Hasselblad H4D camera for thirty days and capturing all types of photos – landscape, fashion, portrait, etc. It is up to the community members to go out with their camera and capture comparable photos each week. Community members then upload their photos to the HassyUSA Flickr Group Pool or the HassyUSA site. Within 24hours, community members will see their photos on the HassyUSA site.

It is then that the discussion begins! Community members can post photos and make comments about photos directly on the HassyUSA site, via Twitter, or on Flickr. If using Twitter, community members can follow the conversation by doing a Twitter search, using the community Twitter tag (#hassyusa) or by watching the latest tweets scroll on the HassyUSA site.

At the end of every thirty days, three Hasselblad representatives, three professional photographers, and the community (7 votes) will decide which community member from each area participated with community members most and shot the best photos. The chosen community member will then become the featured photographer for their city and will have the H4D camera for the next thirty days.*

Hasselblad will continue this process every thirty days till 2011. At the beginning of 2011, community members will decide which member should be submitted for “The Battle of the Hassys” where Hasselblad representatives and professional photographers will take the winning photographer from each Hassy Community and decide who will win a Hasselblad H4D camera.

*Selected photographers must qualify under Hasselblad’s Corporate Loaner program.

**Hasselblad USA reserves the right to discontinue the Hassy Community program or change program rules at anytime based on volume of community participation.
