Where are you from?
Warm-blooded since inception. I am originally from Miami, Florida … swamplands and flickering neon. But interestingly enough, I was born in my pa’s chevy truck en route to hospital. Poor ma. I like to think that this fact does have some kind of influence on the movement in my life.
What’s your favorite color?
Black. or White. Sometimes Gray … see where I’m going here?
Where are you currently?
Currently back in la junglas of Panamá (more specifically Casco Viejo and Pedasí). I was able//lucky enough to spend almost half of 2013 in New York City to finish a few projects and reconnect with the creative circle and energy that I’ve missed while gone — over the past 3 years I’ve, literally, been off-the-grid. Knockin’ on wood, 2014 in Panama, thus far, seems to be a genuinely fruitful reunion. I need that immersion//isolation in the wild and Panama provides so much of that comfort.
What do you love about film making?
Ah, well that’s a long answer you’ve beckoned. I’ll keep it relatively short and start with a quote, “Filmmaking is a chance to live many lives” (Robert Altman). I’ve always loved storytelling, whether it be through the written word or around a campfire, the ability to explicate far-out scenarios or scenarios far removed from your realm of culture/identity — well, it makes every project an incredible learning experience on so many levels. The collaborative form to film making is exciting in and of itself because you appreciate all of the intelligence and talent you get to be surrounded with or astounded by. That said, I look forward to so much more stimulating collaboration in 2014!
What is one monumental moment growing up that shaped who you are today?
Hmmmm, I remember being nice to this little boy in my 5th grade class – “Joey”. He was rowdy and definitely a behaviorally problematic student but he was also chastised and harassed to an extent that didn’t exactly make sense to me. Anyway, one time the teacher instructed us to go around the room and each say something mean or stern to him, to let him how he made us feel when he behaved badly. I mean, really, the teacher wanted us to put a 10-year-old kid through a social ringer. By the time it was “my turn” — “Joey” was in tears. As you know, kids can be cruel and by today’s standards, this teacher would have probably been fired. But, I remember saying something to this extent, “Joey, when you interrupt class or behave badly, you affect the way we learn our lessons which gets the teacher mad. But I do know that when you are being kind and helpful, I like you and consider you my friend. I am sorry that you are crying because some of the things said would have made me cry too. And I don’t think the point was to make you cry. I hope you feel better soon.” Obviously, the class and its clowns and bullies were quiet for a few, heated seconds as their collective conscience was confronted. After class, as I was walking to the front of the school, Rudy came up from behind me and gave me the biggest, most unexpected and, longest hug I have ever received. In short, kindness and understanding go a long way — a really long and impactful way. And I think we all need to be reminded of that from time to time.
What has been your favorite project to date?
I will say Nick … our shoot in Montauk with ever-inspiring Kelly Framel and equally charming Zachary Lynd was one of the most spirited shoots I have been on in quite a while — from concept to creation, the whole process was really enjoyable and almost felt like we went on some kind of creative retreat! For now, Montauk Love takes the cake.
Where is the one destination that is at the top of your travel list right now?
Burma
What is your vision?
My vision for 2014 is to genuinely create — genuinely create work that inspires people to smile, travel, understand one another, take the beaten, off-kilter paths in life — and to also grow as a story-teller with projects that truly challenge me to push myself forward and expect more of myself, for the sake of learning. Crystal visions. That and to grow more of the food I eat.

TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post You Are the Brand If you’re still hiding behind your offer… If you’re still using a cropped wedding photo for your headshot… If you’re still telling yourself you need to “figure it all out first”… Let this be your permission slip: You are the face of your […]
TLDR | What You’ll Learn in This Post This Wasn’t Just a Tattoo I’ve wanted a tattoo from Balazs for years. Not because he’s popular, but because I knew this guy was channeling something real. When the time finally aligned, I didn’t just walk into a session. I stepped into a portal. The Intention: A […]
If you’re an entrepreneur, your personal brand isn’t just a logo — it’s your face, your energy, and the story you’re telling in every scroll. So when it comes to choosing a personal brand photographer, you don’t need someone who just “takes nice pictures.” You need someone who knows how to translate your identity into […]
TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post Your Location Isn’t Background — It’s Identity Where you shoot isn’t just about what looks cool. It’s about resonance. It’s about embodiment. It’s about visually designing a space that holds your energy. “Your brand visuals don’t just show who you are — they show the world you […]
A personal brand is not your logo. It’s not your colors. It’s not just your website. Your personal brand is the perception people have of you when you’re not in the room — shaped by your presence, your visuals, your voice, and how consistently you embody your values. It’s who you are and who you’re […]
TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post Your Brand Isn’t a Feed — It’s a Frequency We’ve all seen it: the influencer with polished photos but no soul. The brand that feels like a mask. That’s not personal branding — that’s performance. A real personal brand? It’s how you live. It’s what you do […]
A Brand Isn’t Just a Logo — It’s a Mirror Your personal brand isn’t a website, a color palette, or a polished grid. It’s an evolving expression of who you are — and who you’re becoming. More than that, it’s a container. A space that calls you to rise. To embody your message. To stay […]
Let’s put it this way: If you want stiff headshots in a gray suit against a beige wall — probably not. If you want a photoshoot that feels like an editorial spread, emotional breakthrough, and creative awakening all in one — then yes. Nick Onken is very good at what he does. What Makes Nick […]
Most First-Time Brand Shoots Miss the Mark — Here’s Why If you’re preparing for your first brand photoshoot, you’re likely focused on the obvious: outfits, lighting, maybe even the perfect smile. But what actually makes a photoshoot land is much deeper — and most people don’t know what to look for. And unfortunately, that’s why most first-time […]
The Problem With Traditional Brand Photograph Most brand photos are surface-level. They might be polished. Perfectly lit. Technically solid. But they lack soul. They don’t make you feel the person. They don’t communicate energy, depth, or identity. They look good — but they don’t resonate. And that’s a problem if you’re a thought leader, coach, speaker, author, or […]
If you’re searching for the best personal brand photographer in New York, one name rises to the top: Nick Onken. Blending editorial sophistication with emotional storytelling, Nick’s work goes far beyond headshots. His Elevated Realism™ approach captures your highest self — magnetic, polished, and unmistakably you. 📍 A Photographer Who Knows NYC Intimately Nick spent 15 […]
One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is building their website, offers, or marketing before they’ve ever clarified their brand identity. They hire web designers before they’ve defined their vibe. They write sales pages without knowing the feeling their brand is meant to transmit. But everything — your website, your photos, your content, your brand world — should stem […]
For most people, a photoshoot is about looking good. For Nicky Clinch, it became a mirror for transformation. Nicky is a master maturation coach, author of Surrender, and co-leader of the Emanate Mastermind. When she came to me, her brand was successful—multiple seven figures, sold-out programs, a global community—but something wasn’t resonating. She had reached a plateau. […]
About the Blogger
I was born in a low middle class conservative religious family in the suburbs of Seattle. Art was and always has been my passion, and more than that a way of life. Starting as a graphic designer, I taught myself photography, built a commercial/editorial business shooting for the worlds biggest brands like Nike, Coca-Cola, Adidas and more. I've also had the opportunity to photograph the world's biggest celebrities like Justin Bieber, Usher, Jessica Alba and more. I've curated a lifestyle around creativity and have learned a lot along the way which I get to share here.
