ABOUT NICK
Photography and films for people who feel at home outside.
I’m Nick Schrein, a photographer and video producer based in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Since picking up a camera in 2008, I’ve been drawn to emotion and action, especially the moments where the two meet. A couple exchanging a look during their vows, kids running into the ocean, or someone finding enough in themselves to keep moving after a long night under a heavy pack.
The settings change, but the thing that holds my attention is usually the same: people doing something that matters to them.
That interest comes from my own life, too. I spend much of my time outside with my family and dogs, mountain biking, rucking, or training for whatever I’ve decided to take on next. I tend to connect with people who share that curiosity and willingness to get out there, whether we’re making photographs together or figuring out how to tell their brand’s story.
Years in the field
Over more than a decade working with GORUCK, I photographed and filmed everything from products and founder stories to some of the hardest endurance events in the world. My work has taken me through the streets of New York City, up Colorado’s fourteeners, and onto the beaches of Normandy, with time along the way documenting the CrossFit Games and Rogue Invitational.
Those experiences shaped how I work. Preparation matters, conditions change, and paying attention is often what makes the difference between recording what happened and creating something that lets another person feel it.
I have a particular interest in outdoor, fitness, and tactical brands, where understanding the people, equipment, and activity makes a difference in the finished work. I enjoy getting into the details of what a business does, why its customers care, and how photography and video can communicate that clearly.
For couples and families
Some of my favorite moments happen when people stop thinking about the camera and turn their attention toward each other.
I’ll help with direction, light, and finding a setting that works, while paying attention to the small things you might not notice yourself. The way your partner watches you, how your child holds your hand, or the laughter that happens between the photographs you thought we were there to make.
If you’re happiest near the water, on a trail, or outside with your dog, we’ll probably get along. Whether we’re documenting your wedding or spending an evening somewhere meaningful to you, I want the result to feel connected to who you are and the life you share.
Do right by people.
That’s the principle I try to bring to every project: understand what matters to you, be straightforward about what I can deliver, prepare for the work, and stand behind it.
Tell me about yourselves, your business, or the project you have in mind. We’ll figure out what it needs and whether I’m the right person to help.
