Nicolai Gregory is an editorial portrait photographer. Whether capturing a single image or a full series, he begins by understanding the story behind the person or project. He believes that photography is shaped more by the relationships between the people involved, whether a team or a single subject, than by the camera or gear. Those are simply tools used once concept, trust, and creativity are in place.


His career led him to found NPG Studio, a commercial photography studio that has been providing a wide range of commercial work to Ottawa for over eight years. Check out NPG Studio below.
