Nick Ballón

Professional Development Mentoring

Over the past 20+ years I have straddled the world of commercial photography with my own artistic practice, blending the two and blurring the line between one and the other. Working for clients such as New York Times, Facebook, Patek Philippe, The Observer, NOWNESS, World of Interiors and many more, I have worked my own vision with countless stories and narratives to bring them to life in a way that feels both personal and intimate.

Over the past few years, especially with the founding of Picnic - A Place for Photography, I have been able to work shoulder to shoulder with photographers on the ground, mentoring and passing on many years of advice gained through first hand experience working in the industry, and I will always continue to do that through our community project.

Now I am opening up this professional development through mentoring photographers to support their careers be it emerging or photographers looking to take the next step in the industry.
