I'm Inaya Nicholls, photographer based in San Diego and SF Bay Area, specializing in graduate portraits and wildlife photography.
Finding the extraordinary in everyday places and celebrating our wonderful planet and its people.
I'm a photographer based in San Diego, California, with roots in the Bay Area, where I also frequently shoot. Specializing in graduation portraits and wildlife photography, I focus on capturing timeless moments—whether it's a graduate stepping into their next chapter or the raw beauty of nature. My goal is simple: to preserve these fleeting experiences with authenticity and artistry.
As a recent graduate from UC San Diego and the Head Photographer for Saltman Quarterly Research Journal, my photography has been featured in several publications, including Saltman Quarterly Features, SQ Insider, and Under the Scope. My photography has received awards and been displayed in University Centers' Flora and Fauna, Campus Life, and Landscapes and Cityscapes exhibitions. These experiences have allowed me to hone my craft while capturing and sharing the stories that shape the world around me.
