From Chaos
to Clarity
In the age of AI, the modern photographer must be more than a technician—they must be an author of authenticity.
This intensive February workshop teaches you the lighting mastery required to not only retain your place in this new world but to give you the tools to light correctly to allow you to use AI more creatively in post.
The AI x Lighting Framework
Discover how intentional light shaping provides the foundation necessary for seamless AI integration. Learn my specific celebrity lighting setups and the "meta-narrative" workflow that took me to the CAFA stage.
Nick Merzetti is an award-winning photographer and director with a singular visual style. His profound color-blindness has sharpened his obsession with contrast, graphic form, and tension, creating an instinct for images that feel disruptive and alive. With roots in technology and psychology, he leans into themes of dysfunction, psychedelics, and counter-culture; his pictures resist the ordinary—they are charged, uncompromising, and instantly recognizable.
His work has graced the pages of prestigious publications including Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue China, Schön! Magazine, Design Scene, and FASHION Canada.
2025 was a year of championing Canadian Artistry. Nick focused on elevating Canadian creatives and brands through major projects like the Fashion Art Toronto 20th Anniversary campaign—which united over 120 talents to celebrate the vibrant canadian fashion scene—and FASHION Canada’s “The Ones” cover, showcasing the best of Canadian designers.
Looking forward, Nick is positioning himself at the intersection of AI, humanity, and creativity, helping fellow artists find meaning and inspiration in a rapidly evolving landscape.
