Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Nick Saglimbeni moved to Los Angeles to pursue cinematography at the top-ranked USC School of Cinema. After shooting several commercials, music videos, and short films, Nick was recognized by the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) with a Heritage Award.  That same year, after hearing from many actors and models about their frustrations with bad photos and even more awkward photo sessions, Nick opened SlickforceStudio in downtown LA. 

Clients quickly responded to the cinematic nature of Nick’s photography, and Slickforce soon became one of the hottest studios in Los Angeles.  True to the studio’s motto, “You. Perfected.™” Nick’s clients enjoy a photographic experience like none other, including state-of-the-art image capture, signature retouching techniques, and a stress-free environment.

Nick has shot a staggering 100+ magazine covers in under 5 years, and he continues to shake up the photography world with a cinematic spin.  In 2009, Nick won the Blackberry Small Business Award for his work with SlickforceStudio. The National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) has awarded Nick with a staggering three Grand Prize Awards.

Nick currently shoots for a wide array of venues, including album covers, national and international ad campaigns, and many major magazines. His work has been featured on Larry King Live, E! News, Keeping Up with Kardashians, Inside Edition, and in publications such as Ocean Drive, LA Confidential, Maxim, and the New York Times.
