About Me

Absolutely. Here’s a cleaner, more professional version that still feels approachable:

---

Hello! My name is Nick Swanson, and I’m a portrait photographer based in Vero Beach, Florida. I have 11 years of portrait photography experience and a fine arts degree in digital photography.

Over the years, photography has taken me around the world, from Thailand, Japan, and Canada to Afghanistan, where I worked as a photojournalist. While I also shoot real estate and fine art photography, portrait work has always been my main focus.

I’ve worked with several fashion and lifestyle brands, including Roxy, Pakaloha Bikini, Octopus Ink Clothing Co., and others. I enjoy creating images that feel intentional, polished, and collaborative.

Model Mayhem is my outlet for more creative portrait work. I’m primarily interested in shoots that benefit both the model and myself, so many of my sessions through this platform are available as trade collaborations.

Feel free to reach out if you have a creative concept, portfolio idea, or collaboration in mind. I’m also open to working with other photographers and creative teams.

Thank you!

A slightly more confident version:

---

Hello! My name is Nick Swanson, and I’m a portrait photographer based in Tacoma, Washington. I have 20 years of experience in portrait photography and a Bachelors of Fine Arts in digital photography.

My work has taken me around the world, from Thailand, Japan, and Canada to Afghanistan, where I served as a photojournalist. While I also photograph real estate and fine art, portraiture is where I do my strongest work.

I’ve collaborated with several fashion and lifestyle brands, including Roxy, Pakaloha Bikini, Octopus Ink Clothing Co., and more. My focus is on creating strong, intentional images that help models, brands, and creatives build polished visual portfolios.

I use Model Mayhem as a space for creative portrait work and collaborative projects. I’m especially interested in shoots that are mutually beneficial, so many sessions arranged through this platform are available on a trade basis.

Feel free to reach out with creative concepts, portfolio goals, or collaboration ideas. I’m also open to working with other photographers, stylists, makeup artists, and creative teams.

Thank you!
