| Nin has practiced photography since 1993. His photographic aesthetic has grown out of his studies of literature and painting, as well as his sojourn in Europe. He inspires his models to recreate fictional allusions, or invokes an inner state to create meaningful interior portraits, often lighting them in the subdued colors of paintings he has loved. When traveling, Nin was interested in sentimentalizing spaces and places in a light that appears more imaginary than real.
Nin graduated in 2000 from UCLA, where he studied under celebrated contemporary artists, then went on to assist fashion and advertising photographers in Los Angeles and New York, always with the quest of mastering high-level lighting style. Later, he worked in both Sacramento and the Bay Area as an editorial photographer for glossy publications for three years before returning to Los Angeles.
In his downtown L.A. studio, Nin is currently working in a contemporary narrative style but he subverted it with the sophisticated lighting of fashion imaging. He enjoys teaching and delivering lectures on photography, both in colleges and privately in his studio. Recently, Nin joined the staff at the Annenberg Space for Photography. |
