Welcome to Photography

Instructor: Nick Butler

Photography Instructor Nick Butler

Nick Butler was born in Washington DC, grew up in Maryland, and currently lives and works in Buffalo, NY.

He studied photography at SUNY Buffalo State with professors Les Krims and Jim Sylvia and University photographer Bruce Fox. 

"As an artist my medium of choice is photography. I love creating art for the joy it brings me and seeing how others can experience and be impacted by it. I enjoy shooting a variety of events and situations, and welcome any opportunities that may come my way. I love bringing my creative eye to my freelance work, but am no stranger to straightforward traditional photography."

We’ll teach you everything that you need to know to become a skilled photographer.
