Hi, my name is Nickolas Swanson, and I’m a photographer and storyteller with more than 14 years of experience behind the lens. My passion for photography has taken me from public affairs work in the Air Force to creative projects across landscapes, portraits, and social media strategy.

What began in 2010 as a personal pursuit has evolved into a career that blends technical expertise with a creative eye. I specialize in capturing authentic moments—whether that’s through portraits, documentary-style storytelling, or landscapes that evoke a sense of place. My work reflects both precision and narrative depth, with an emphasis on images that feel cinematic, intentional, and timeless.

Today, I balance my photography with broader creative work in media and brand storytelling, but photography remains at the core of how I connect with people, places, and ideas. Every photo I take is meant not just to preserve a memory, but to tell a story that resonates long after the moment has passed.
