Photographer

Nicole Arcuschin's passion for photography was born when she was still a child. At 16 he bought his first SLR camera and at school he fell in love with analogue development and black and white photography. With this background and a portfolio that already dazzled photographers from around the world, it was only a matter of time before I started working for large clients and international publications.

The use of natural light and the prominence of the landscape are a constant in their work, and have already become their hallmark. A style with which clients of the likes of Caro Cuore, Rhapsody, CHER, Nike, San Miguel or Pepsi have wanted to count for their campaigns.
