I'm Nick, a New York City photographer and a professional classical trumpet player who has spent decades performing in orchestras, chamber ensembles, and on Broadway, including 15 years in the orchestra for The Phantom of the Opera.

As a musician, I know the culture, the grind, and what it means to need images that actually represent you as an artist.

My goal is always the person first. Your instrument is part of your story, but not the whole story. The best musician portraits don't just show what you play - they show who you are.

Whether it's press photos, promotional portraits, or something more personal, I bring the same attention to detail to every frame that I bring to every performance.

I also photograph pets, because after decades of playing music for a living, my other great love has always been animals.
