Nic Frappier was born fully formed out of the back of a camera and has yet to cut the cord. This unholy amalgamation of human and machine is a staunch believer that photography is writing through light, connection can be made through an open lens, and that good coffee should be strong enough to test your mettle and leave you wanting.

Nic enjoys the transmutational properties of lighting, the emotional impact of colour, and the glory of a satisfied client.

While Nic can typically be found haunting the New York and Tri-State Area, she will go wherever the camera summons her. Through her travels, Nic has already begun to leave her unique mark across the country - and that mark will only continue to spread.
