Hey y’all, I’m Nick.
I am a commercial photographer and social media strategist with an emphasis on athletes and outdoor brands. I’ve directed and produced work for world-class institutions and world-medalist athletes, international retail brands, and the occasional coffee shoppe. My “studio” for the aforementioned work ranges from quaint east-side Raleigh cafes (while sipping an iced mocha), to scaling the Chocolate Glacier Headwall on the most remote volcano in the Northwest (also an iced mocha). I am a former NCAA All-American turned elite triathlete, avid outdoorsman, writer, and published photographer. I am one of the most diverse content creators in the greater Triangle area that will never turn down a gritty adventure. Bring it. My goal is to continue helping brands/influencers connect deeper with their audience through mesmerizing visuals and brand analysis.

If not now, when?

Nick is a fantastic photographer with a keen eye, but more than that he has a unique ability to understand our brand and create content rife with meaningful stories that resonate with our customers and elevate our marketing.

I have known Nick for 3 years and worked with him on a few projects. He is able to understand, adapt and tailor projects based on the needs very well. And, as a plus, he is a fun and positive person to work with, which for the creative world, is key to getting a great final product.
