Nick Leoni Photography

I'm a portrait photographer living in San Francisco. I like playing with color pops, various lighting styles, expressions of edginess, and always finding a way to make people look their best. I was born and raised in New York, and the fashion and art culture there has definitely shaped my personal style.

My connection with the subject is my strong suit. I find it easy to connect and put people at their ease, creating a comfortable and fun vibe on set, no matter what the conditions. Most of all, I help take down people's walls and open them up in a way which translates onto film.

I like shiny flashy objects, tons of sparkle, comic books, avant-garde fashion, the British accent, and Kabuki Sushi. I'm a total animal lover but I'm pretty biased towards my two terriers, Bandit and Rocket.
