Portrait Photography

Nikki, visual storyteller and photographer of Nowood Creatives goes above and beyond by taking her time to get to know the people behind the frame and learn more about the story of the people in the photograph. For Nikki it is about creating heart-felt connections and relationships to help each other create relaxed and memorable experiences with the camera.

Photography embracing Unity

While Nikki feels it is essential to capture key moments—such as ceremonies, performances, or celebrations—the art lies in leading with the heart, by portraying the atmosphere, emotions, and connections shared among people. Using photography as the medium, Nikki often utilizes candid shots to highlight spontaneous interactions, subtle expressions, and the stories unfolding in real time.

To achieve this depth, there may be various techniques, such as incorporating diverse, dynamic compositions, playing with light and shadow, and utilizing environmental elements to create depth.
