Nick is passionate about stunning locations, committed to collaborating with great creatives, and loves connecting with the people and places he photographs.

His work is regularly seen in magazines and billboards around the world and Nick is consistently recognized in leading industry awards like Lurzer’s Archive 200 Best Ad Photographers, the International Photography Awards, and Graphis.
Over the past 12 years Nick has shot for environmental non-profits and organizations documenting communities and places on the forefront of global environmental change. Since the start of his career Nick has lived with, and documented, Alaska Native communities in Alaska’s Bristol Bay region and helped raise awareness and permanently protect the world’s last great wild salmon run from foreign mining development.
Nick is as comfortable photographing hunter gatherers in Tanzania as he is shooting global advertising campaigns.
