How We Work

With a friendly, no-pressure approach we ensure that your images will look great and your guests will feel comfortable and at ease. We use state-of-the-art professional photography equipment and our primary focus is to deliver vibrant and atmospheric images for all our clients, on any project we work on. Many of our clients use our images to promote and generate interest in their events through social media and traditional advertising.

Style & Quality

nicophoto has been voted as one of the top London club photographers in 2012 and won awards such as cover of the year for BOYZ magazine. Our images have their own unique style and we pride ourselves in using only minimal post-production and effects, instead focusing on capturing the scene and atmosphere of your venue in the best possible way straight in the camera, resulting in the clean yet vibrant, natural finish our clients have come to expect.

“I've known Nico for years, he's a great guy and I love his photography. His images are amazingly vibrant and really capture our venue as the place to go in Soho. We have recently hired nicophoto to shoot our new marketing campaign which I am really looking forward to! ”

“Nico is a great friend and photographer. I run my own photography business but we often work together on jobs which is a lot of fun. In some ways that's a bit unusual as everyone is usually out for themselves but I love it when people share and collaborate - the results can be so much better! ”
