Brandon R. Nicholas (he/they/sibling)

I create short-form video and portrait photography for nonprofits, founders, and small teams.

Hello, I'm Brandon Nick. I'm a queer Afro-Caribbean filmmaker, portrait photographer, and podcaster. I'm from Annapolis, MD, but now live in Jersey City, or as I call it, the unofficial 6th Borough of New Young City (aka NYC). 

​

As a photographer and storyteller, my work exists at the intersections of community, pleasure, Blackness + queerness. My mission is to be in and of service to butch queens, femme queens, Black queer folk, and queer folk of color through art and advocacy. I'm passionate about intentional art that

fosters empathy, reclamation, & liberation.

​

Recently, I've launched a Patreon to support the many projects I'm working on, including Film Festival Friends, a new podcast; dirty*, my next short film; and turning my short documentary, Miss Honey: The Catsuit, about the Jamaican music icon Moi Renee, into a feature documentary. 

Beyond that, I'm a proud graduate of Morgan State University. In my spare time, I'm doing ghetto dances and taking crazy chances. Or writing haikus. Oh, I've won a few awards and been published in some nice publications, too.

Available for commissioned video and portrait work.
