Nick Mendez

Hi there! I'm Nick Mendez, a photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I capture vibrant stories and distinctive personalities through colorful, character-rich photography and videography. I believe in genuine human connection, and my greatest asset is my genuine interest in the people I work with.

My background

My love for photography was ignited by my father, a New York street photographer, who honed his craft in a darkroom. He instilled in me the importance of capturing genuine emotions and showcasing unique perspectives. Sadly, he passed away before fulfilling his own dreams, leaving me with his trusty Nikon F2 and a legacy to carry forward.
