About Abby Ferguson


Abby Ferguson earned her dual bachelor’s degrees in Art Education and Photography from the University of Kentucky, followed by a Master of Fine Arts from Kansas State University. This background has heavily influenced her writing career, with her early articles as a freelancer focused on educational photography tips and insights into photographic culture. In 2022, Abby joined PopPhoto as the Associate Editor of Gear & Reviews, delving into the intricate world of photography gear. Her role quickly expanded to include contributions to PopSci, where she sharpened her focus on fitness and outdoor equipment, along with a broad spectrum of technology products and gadgets. In 2024, she returned to freelancing, contributing to Pocket-lint with her knowledge of wearable technology, fitness gadgets, and ongoing photography insights.

What was your first phone?

My very first phone was the classic Nokia 3310, though it wasn't exactly my own. The phone was shared with my siblings, based on who had something going on that might require the ability to communicate. 

When did your interest in technology begin?

My interest in technology began when I received my first digital camera. I wouldn't have called myself a true tech enthusiast until I started writing about photography gear for PopPhoto, though. 

What tech products or categories are you most passionate about?

I am obsessed with cameras and all things photography gear, along with anything fitness or outdoor-related.
