ABOUT NIKOLAI PUC'

I'm Nikolai Puc’ a Denver-based photographer whose work weaves through the pulse of live music, the intimacy of portraiture, and the soul of humanitarian stories—capturing moments where emotion meets light. My passion for photography is intricately woven with my love for travel, which brings a fresh and captivating perspective to my artistry. Whether I'm capturing moments in a studio setting or amidst the bustling streets, my goal is to craft exquisite works of art through my unique lens.
Photography has taken me on an incredible journey across the globe, spanning six continents and over 50 countries. During these photographic expeditions, I've found profound fulfillment in using my skills to support charitable causes, bringing awareness to those in need. From collaborating with orphanages in China to documenting the humanitarian efforts of Operation Smile in Madagascar, my heart lies in connecting with people and leaving a positive impact wherever I tread.

Beyond photography, my diverse interests fuel my zest for life. Graduating from Metropolitan State University of Denver with a degree in Media For Social Change, I'm deeply committed to making a difference through my craft.

Soccer holds a special place in my heart, and I'm an ardent follower of international and European soccer. Another facet of my passions lies in collecting vinyl records, boasting a remarkable collection of over 7000 records. Thrift shopping for vinyl and crazy hawaiian shirts has become an enjoyable pastime as well.
However, music-discovery runs deepest in my soul, ranging from obscure 80s new-wave tunes and nostalgic 1950's doo-wop to indie rock and Hip Hop. While I consider myself well-versed, I'm always eager to delve into the musical unknown.

I'm excited at the prospect of collaborating with you on any project, vision, or idea, or simply embarking on a creative photoshoot together. The possibilities are limitless, and I'm eager to see where this creative road leads us next. Let's embark on this journey together, creating memorable art and spreading positivity wherever we go.
