"We hired Nick to do some video footage for a promotional video we were shooting and the quality of videography was absolutely amazing. I ended up getting tons of awesome clips to make reels with. Definitely going to be hiring him again, he's on the roster for all our promotions as far as I'm concerned moving forward"
Steve Ellis, Owner
"It has always been my dream to do a time-lapse of the sand move-in and competition for Parksville Beach Festival. Nick understood what my vision was and put together an incredible piece using time-lapse, video and drone shots. Now people can see the incredible amount of work it takes to setup a master sand sculpting competition and the pre-work done by the sculptors before they can start carving the sand. Nick captured it perfectly! Thanks so much Nick. I will definitely work with you again! "
Wendy Sears, Event Manager
"Nick was a pleasure to work with from concepting through to editing post-production.
The diverse collection of footage and photos he captured for us over the winter season is above our expectations. We hope to work with him on projects again."
Ed Raine, Program Coordinator
"Nick captured all of the special moments and more from our trail running race in Cumberland. Top notch quality and quick turn around. Super communication and was great and laying everything out in advance so we knew what to expect. Highly recommended."
Derek Kaufman, Race Director
Video Projects
Parksville Beach Festival
I recently had the opportunity to shoot the 2023 sand sculpting competition in Parksville which included 4 days of shooting multiple timelapses, complemented with various pieces of b-roll footage to round out the piece.
Since I can remember I have been travelling the world. I was fortunate enough to have parents that 1) love the outdoors, and 2) had a passion to travel. From an early age, they took my siblings and I on far-fetched family trips to destinations such as Indonesia, Egypt, Malta and more. For that I am forever grateful as they really instilled a sense of adventure in myself that has since seen me travel to over 40 countries including destinations such as the Galapagos Islands, French Polynesia, Iceland, South Africa, Philippines, Guatemala, Bahamas, and Norway.
My photography started as a hobby, a way to showcase my travels and to show friends and family. Self-taught behind the lens that hobby soon grew to be a passion and has since become an addiction. I love the thrill of chasing a shot that challenges my skills, or one that I feel is unique.
I specialize in extravagant landscapes, unique wildlife encounters, and incredible adventures in the mountains and on/underwater.
