Nick LaVecchia

Nick LaVecchia grew up in suburban New Jersey and found that board sports suited him at an early age. Skateboarding and snowboarding came easy and eventually, Nick moved to Vermont after college, where he began a career in graphic design. Soon, Nick realized being outside shooting pictures was way better than sitting in front of a computer working for the man, so he quit and bought some camera gear. It wasn’t long before trips to Africa, South America and Costa Rica (as well as the images that came from them) fully inspired Nick to pursue photography as his life’s passion.

Nick’s images all have meaning, and they tell individual stories. Like any great photograph, the stories Nick’s images create depend on the viewer to help complete the story. He captures nature and humanity in it’s most important and unique moments. These are moments of honesty and profound beauty simply because he works hard to get there. He will hike, swim, float, dive, jump and stand for hours to get the shot. When he gets there, he knows how to shoot and tell the story.

Nick’s work has been published in many national and international publications including Outside Magazine, National Geographic Adventure, Surfer, Surfers Journal, Water, and Drift.
