Hello fellow Model Mayhemers! My name is Nico and I reside in beautiful San Diego, CA. Human Beings: I connect with them very well. I am a socialite. Which means I of course love taking photos of people. I will have a conversation with you and before we know it we will have made art together. (pretty corny-sounding I know)
I either do REALLY simple concepts or HIGHLY complex ones. Nothing in between. HUMONGOUS fan of contrast and vibrant colors.
I also do my own post-production which I think is really important these days. I edit photos depending on what I'm feeling from them. The same shoot could have two totally different looks because of post-production.
I LOVE and have always preferred to get booked at least 3 weeks in advance. My photography is both a hobby and a way to make extra money. Even if you are rock star photographer, there will always be that one concept that everyone just wants to be a part of because you know it'll be so different and fresh that money isn't even an issue. If you come at me with "OMFG I LUB YOUR PHOTOS! LET'S GO THE BEACH N SHOOT!!!" you will be turned down.
If you are interested in working together shoot me an email: nico@ricoyphoto.com. Make sure you write "Model Mayhem Shoot" on the subject.
Cheers!
