Who am I?

I am Niko Mendez. My journey into photography started back in 2017. Funny enough, I bought my first camera with the idea of shooting YouTube videos for my other big passion, music. But while traveling, I ended up using the camera to capture photos, and that’s when I truly fell in love with photography. The light, the moments, and the way a single image can freeze time, saying so much without words, it all captivated me.

What began as a hobby quickly turned into a creative journey. Now, I see the rolling world through my lens, always searching for unique perspectives and moments that tell a story. My goal is to create feelings with the images, and to share them. Whether it’s through the subtle details of a landscape or the fleeting expressions of the people I meet along the way, nothing escapes to my curious eye (and therefore, camera).

For me, photography is about freezing a moment and preserving it for others to experience. It’s my way of sharing my vision of the world, and I’m excited to finally be sharing my work with you.

A man with a beard, wearing a light blue shirt and khaki pants, is looking at a camera in his hands. He has sunglasses on his head and a black camera strap around his neck. There is a black bag hanging from his shoulder, and a second camera is attached to it. In the background, there are trees and a blurred person with blonde hair wearing a pink shirt.
