Nick Alvarez

Nick Alvarez is a Mexican-American Photographer, Multidisciplinary Storyteller and MFA Candidate at The New School's Parsons School of Design 22’, residing in Brooklyn, New York. With a background in Psychology, Nick’s fascination in considering patterns of human thought and their influence on peoples' behaviors has motivated much of his work. Nick’s most recent work -- an ongoing documentary photography project titled, ‘Somewhere Nearby’ (2022) -- investigates environmentally compromised Superfund Sites in New York and New Jersey, raising questions regarding the visual appearance of toxicity and our apparent habituation to its integration into our communities. Alongside finding fulfillment in documentary work, Nick also collaborates with small teams to bring artistic concepts to life through filmmaking, creative portraiture, editorial, and commercial work, yet however possible, Nick continues to expand the foundation of his practice. Nick Alvarez’s work has been exhibited domestically and internationally at shows including Photoville (2021, 2022) and the Pingyao International Photo Festival (2021, 2022), and has been featured in publications such as Vogue, 17:33 Magazine, and Mob Journal -- among others.
