I'm Michelle Nicholson, lifestyle & travel photographer based in California, serving clients worldwide
Finding the extraordinary in everyday places and celebrating our wonderful planet.
HI. I'M MICHELLE.
Event & travel photographer based in California. Available worldwide.
I'm a photographer, traveler, people-watcher and firm believer that the best photographs usually happen about three seconds after everyone stops paying attention to the camera.
I photograph events, destinations and people with a documentary approach — looking for the energy, humor, connections and little moments that tell the bigger story.
I've photographed everything from corporate events and nonprofit galas to families, festivals and a week-long Christmas market cruise through Europe. Put me somewhere I've never been, give me a camera and tell me there's something interesting happening around the corner, and I'm pretty happy.
PEOPLE ARE MY FAVORITE PART.
Photography is obviously about making great images. But it's also about reading a room, making people comfortable, knowing when to step in and when to disappear into the background.
I'm curious. I'm adaptable. I travel well. And I'm always looking for the thing happening **just outside the obvious photograph.**
When I'm not working, there's a pretty good chance I'm planning a trip, wandering somewhere with a camera, or stopping the car because “LOOK AT THAT LIGHT.”
Have camera. Will travel.
