ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Nate!

WHERE DO WE BEGIN?

My creative journey started in high school when I studied Creative Photography and Digital Art Imaging where I first learned Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Illustrator. I always had a keen eye for design in the real world and this elective coursework helped me turn my ideas into feasible works.

For a while, photo and design were my hobbies of passion.

It wasn’t until I was behind a tuba on Doak Campbell Stadium playing with the Florida State University Marching Chiefs among a community that valued shared moments, where my creative drive came into focus. What started as a knack for sports photography and design turned into an obsession for capturing visual stories and the world around me.

I am currently an undergraduate student at Florida State University studying Media & Communication Studies and Strategic Communication (SC) with plans to continue SC and graphic design in FSU graduate school.

Throughout college, I have dabbled in media management for the music fraternity @phimualphaei, Marching Chiefs tuba section @fsuroyalflush (800+/doubled the followers in 2 years), and my service fraternity @aphio_fsu. These groups trusted me to create content and campaigns for their media presence and lead committees to expand outreach, while enriching my own multimedia skills.
I now create content regularly for the Marching Chiefs @fsuchiefs as a media ambassador and VEZ Productions music studio @vezofficial as a marketing intern.

It did not take long before I was commissioned for my first graduate photoshoot in Spring 2024. My freelance photography has grown ever since having worked with FSU Football, Tallahassee DJs, dozens of graduating students, student organizations, live events, etc..

Currently, I offer graduation shoots, professional headshots, recital and event photography, and creative photography.
