Meet Nicholas
An open letter to photography,
I simply love photography. It’s an amazing thing to think about. Your task is to express artistic vision and creativity within the confines of machinery and sciences. I think a good photographer is as analytical as they are creative. I love to experiment, hypothesize, catalog, and evaluate photographic results. There is some debate, but most credit the invention of permanent photography to Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826 and since then it has remained an important part of modern society. I think this is largely due to the magic, mysticism, and archaic feeling that most find when they dive into the world of photography.
Wedding photography is such a challenging genre of photography because there is never a true constant. Many things are familiar but never the same. You could never shoot the same wedding twice. You walk into every wedding with more experience than the last. You’re mainly a portrait photographer that gets lighting scenarios and environments pulled out of a hat and it’s fantastic! I plan to do weddings as long as I can because I don’t know what other avenues of photography have so much variety of people, places, and things.
Besides calling myself a photographer. I call myself a husband and a father. My family and I love to travel and I am so grateful to have been able to show so much of the world to my daughter. We also love being active. We keep ourselves busy with running, skateboarding, hiking, dance, and caring for our lovable bonehead dogs. I also have an affinity for old movies. Foreign great, B&W even better. Give me Bergman, Tarkovsky, Deren, Lynch, Anderson, Mekas, or most anything from studio A24.
