ABOUT ME
NICK JOHNSON
FASHION, BEAUTY, AND EDITORIAL PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
BASED IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
Hello, I’m Nick Johnson — a fashion, beauty, and editorial portrait photographer based in Eugene, Oregon. With more than 25 years in the industry, I specialize in creating high-impact visuals for salons, hairstylists, makeup artists, cosmetics brands, fashion boutiques, designers, and style-driven businesses throughout the Pacific Northwest. I also produce editorial portraits for magazines and work regularly with athletes, musicians, entertainers, and public figureswho need images with presence, polish, and personality.
My work is rooted in modern beauty and fashion aesthetics—clean, editorial lighting; accurate color; refined skin work; and images designed to support real campaigns, not just stand alone as portraits. Whether I’m photographing a salon’s signature look, a beauty educator’s next course launch, a cosmetics brand campaign, or a fashion-forward personal branding session, my focus is always the same: authentic expression, intentional styling, and visuals that feel alive, contemporary, and unmistakably professional.
I’m equally at home in the studio or on location and comfortable managing productions of any scale—from simple, elevated beauty shoots to multi-person campaigns with stylists, HMUAs, assistants, and video. I aim to make the process easy, collaborative, and strategically aligned with your goals so that the final images don’t just look incredible—they workfor you across social media, web, print, and marketing.
My background includes serving as co-director of Seattle Fashion Week (2004–2009) and nearly two decades of working with brands and creatives in Eugene, Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. That experience has shaped how I approach image-making: as a blend of technical excellence, industry awareness, and brand strategy.
I don’t simply deliver photos—I help you create a visual identity that elevates your brand, captures attention, and sets you apart in a crowded market.
If you’re ready to level up your beauty brand, fashion label, creative business, or personal image, let’s create something exceptional together.
