He was born in 1981 and studied architecture at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo where he grew up as well. While on a European trip for architecture, he became inspired by not only the beauty of the architecture, but of the surrounding landscapes as well. While self taught in the technicality of photography, Nicholas continues to refine his skills at storytelling through the eye of the lens. By capturing light and shadow, emotion and form, Nicholas uses his background in architectural design to drive the stories that his photographs express. Nicholas’ work has been curated at many public exhibitions and galleries across Southern California. Such galleries include, OCCCA, LA Artcore, the Carnegie Muzeo, and Las Laguna Gallery. Other fun public exhibitions have included the Mission Viejo Library, the Newport Beach art exhibition, and the Orange County fair.
