A girl, her camera, and her curiosity

THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHING WORTH NOTICING.

Events • Travel • Hospitality • Experiences

I’m Michelle Nicholson, a California-based photographer with a habit of noticing the things happening just outside the obvious.

The glance across the table. The speaker who has the whole room laughing. The quiet five minutes before the doors open. The crowded market, the unfamiliar street, the place you almost walked past.

That’s usually where the good stuff is.

I photograph events, destinations and experiences with a documentary eye, a curious mind, and very little interest in making everyone stop what they’re doing to pose for me.

You keep doing what you’re doing. I’ll pay attention.

Have camera. Will travel.

KIND WORDS

"Insert a strong testimonial here — ideally one that says something about what it feels like to work with you, not just that the photos were beautiful."

HAVE CAMERA. WILL TRAVEL.
