Bio
Kevin Yong-Moon Lee
Nick is a great storyteller with fresh set of eyes that know how to tell the truth and bring meaning into people's lives with his photos and videos. Highly recommend working with Nick.
Eleanor Bader
I first met Nick when he was a student at Pratt enrolled in a journalism class that I was then teaching; he was an immediate stand-out. He later began working with me as a photographer at The Brooklyn Rail newspaper [www.brooklynrail.org] and has taken many photos to accompany stories I've written. He is not only competent, he is a skilled photographer, a wonderful colleague, and a smart, savvy man. He has terrific photojournalism skills and is always professional.
