About Nyzio Photography

Starting out as just a hobby I always wanted to take a camera with me and practice/ learn the craft. I have always been interested in cameras since I was around 12 years old. To me I always thought it was amazing how a piece of technology can capture a moment, in life, exactly how it happened. An image you can review and relive the moment at any time. This began my interest, and it was solidified when I was a cadet in the Civil Air patrol in 2016. I attended the National Emergency Services Academy as a Mission Observer and Mission Photographer. Here I held my first DSLR that was assigned to me and learned the ins and the outs. Being able to look at the world through glass was ever changing. I completed the course as the Distinguished Graduate for my Airborne Photography class, and I ordered a Nikon D3300 on eBay with a generic kit lens. I was excited to own my own DSLR, by the time I got home it was there waiting for me.

It wasn’t until my first serious relationship I got the confidence to get out into the world. With her, I was able to explore and practice photography outside of my comfort zone. We went through many adventures that I wouldn’t have dared do myself alone, but with that I have gained a lot of experience in different conditions as well as confidence in my work that I am always so critical of. After her I have stayed true to my new passion as a photographer to get better every day and learn new skills to keep the dream alive.

Now I look to what I once thought as a fun little hobby into a growing business. I have moved on from digital cameras, to DSLRs, to 35mm Film and continue onwards to master all medians. Advancing towards 120mm, 8/16mm Movie film, 1800’s wet plate, dry plate, and developing all of my film at home. I strive for perfection and always look on ways to improve upon. Especially because I love working with old “antiquated” photography techniques.

I get asked a lot about “why bother, phones are much easier” which I definitely agree, these days phones are getting incredibly advanced especially with new technology such as advanced low light/ high megapixel sensors and advanced software such as composition photography. Chase Jarvis once said “The best camera is the one that’s with you” and he is completely correct. The cheapest camera you have on you will always beat the expensive camera, with a pristine glass lens attached to it. As long as you are in the right spot at the right time. Yet my personal goal is to keep the difficult old fashion photography styles alive “not because it’s easy but because it is hard.” -JFK 1962

Never forget your roots.

I would love to hear what challenge you may have and take it head on to the best of my abilities and create something both you and I would be proud of.
