About

Meet Nick.

A Hawaii-based photographer and filmmaker who captures the world's beauty from an underwater perspective. Certified freediver and rescue diver — the guy you want around when the ocean gets a little too friendly.

When he's not chasing schools of fish or flirting with curious sea turtles, you'll find him wrangling his two kids and dreaming up the next big shot.

“Rescue diver by trade, third wheel at your wedding by profession.”
