Nicolas Moore was born and raised in New York and was first introduced to the world of fashion by his father, James Moore, who was a photographer and film director. His mother was a highly acclaimed German model and taught Nicolas how to speak four languages. During high school, Nicolas spent most of his summers working on the set of feature films and television. In turn, this experience has fueled his inspiration towards fashion photography, cultivating most of his ideas from films.

Nicolas graduated from the University of Vermont and studied economics and art history with an emphasis in architecture.

Nicolas Moore has shot for Another Magazine, i-D, Japanese Vogue, Teen Vogue, L’Uomo Vogue, Flair, Allure, Russian Vogue, GQ, and America Magazine. He has photographed many high profile celebrities such as Woody Allen, Scarlett Johansson, Diego Luna, Catherine Deneuve, Arnold Schwartzenegger, and Charlotte Rampling. Nicolas is also a favorite amongst musicians like Kayne West, Ludacris, Dangermouse, Kelis, and Deborah Harry. His advertising clients include Salvatore Ferragamo, Maybelline, Aveda, Valentino, Emanuel Ungaro, Charter Club, Air France, Guinot, Style.com and Olay.
