About Me

Welcome! 😊

​

I'm Nicknaz Tahbaz, a passionate local photographer based in the picturesque town of Aptos, California nestled within the beauty of Santa Cruz County! 

Photography has been my enduring passion, one that grew exponentially during the challenging times of Covid-19 pandemic. Witnessing people endlessly scrolling through their Instagram feeds and reading news articles about the struggles of the pandemic, I felt a compelling desire to shift focus towards showcasing the profound beauty found in life's contrasting moments. This ignited my fervor for photography and my mission to illuminate the often-unseen splendor of the natural surroundings in the Monterey Bay area.

I knew that by sharing what I saw through my lens, I could brighten moods and alter the narrative of what people were consuming. through my Instagram page, I embarked on a journey to breathe life into scenes that often go unnoticed, serving as a gentle reminder to savor the present and appreciate thee subtle marvels surrounding us. The heartfelt messages and comments I received were overwhelming, affirming how my perspective through the lens allowed others to draw closer to the inherent beauty they often overlooked. This inspired me to reach an even wider audience. 

​

My experience has been primarily driven by capturing the essence of landscapes, family moments, and individual portraits. It is an incredibly gratifying experience to see my prints adorning various offices and homes. 

​

As I embark on this photographic journey, I'm filled with gratitude and enthusiasm. I hope that my photography not only brings joy to your eyes but also encourages you to discover the beauty that surrounds us every day. I am eagerly looking forward to connecting with you for any print orders, bookings, or questions you might have. your support and interest in my work mean the world to me.
