Hi, I’m Nico.
I’m a San Francisco–based event photographer with nearly 30 years of roots in the Mission District of San Francisco. That perspective shapes how I work: I know how to read a room, anticipate moments, and capture the energy of an event in a way that feels both natural and intentional.
With over eight years specializing in corporate event photography, I’ve documented conferences, galas, brand activations, and team celebrations across the Bay Area. My approach is influenced by classic photographers like André Kertész and Helen Levitt—balancing a documentary eye with the ability to highlight the story and goals of each client.
What sets my work apart is an emphasis on genuine, unscripted moments that resonate beyond the event itself—photos that clients can use for PR, marketing, and brand storytelling long after the last guest has left.
Outside of client work, I collaborate with arts organizations, continue personal photography projects, and can often be found exploring San Francisco on foot with my camera. At home, I recharge with books, films, and my cats.
"The camera is an excuse to be someplace you otherwise don't belong.
It gives me both a point of connection and a point of separation."
