NICK
MERZETTI

Nick Merzetti is a photographer and director whose work doesn't look like anyone else's. Colour-blindness has sharpened his obsession with contrast, graphic form, and tension — giving him an instinct for images that feel disruptive and alive.

With roots in technology and psychology, he leans into themes of dysfunction, psychedelics, and counter-culture. His pictures resist the ordinary — they're charged, uncompromising, and instantly recognizable. His clients include Fashion Magazine, Oscar de la Renta, and leading commercial brands.
