Who is he?

My name is Nico, and I’m an aspiring photographer. I’m drawn to architecture and the quiet beauty hidden in everyday life. I want to share that perspective with others — especially those who might not always notice it.

I’ve been capturing moments for as long as I can remember. In most of my childhood home videos, you can always see me reaching for the camera. Whether it was birthdays, holidays, or even a sleepy breakfast before school; my mother always made sure those moments were a forever thing.

Watching her behind the lens, seeing the joy on her face as she captured those special moments, made me feel the same. The moment I was tall enough to reach the camera case on the top shelf of the closet, I was off & running. The best part was, I would always sneak it back up there, forgetting everything got saved. Just to hear about it the next day.

Fast forward to now, I’m 25 & still the one that lives behind a lens. I’m blatantly obsessed with the idea that I’m able to make a singular moment, no matter how special or irrelevant; Last forever. Especially when everyone views it differently.

There’s a lot of love behind these photographs, and I’m proud to finally share that love — and my perspective with you.

In loving memory of my grandfather, Lawrence.
