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.
In 2004, Nick opened SlickforceStudio in downtown Los Angeles, which quickly became one of the premiere imaging studios for actors, models, musicians and celebrities.
A favorite among publicists and clients alike, SlickforceStudio stays true to its motto, "You. Perfected." by offering clients state-of-the-art imaging, proprietary retouching techniques, and a stress-free environment.
Nick shattered all expectations when his 100th magazine cover in under 5 years hit the newsstand. He has received a staggering three Grand Prize GURU Awards from the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP/PhotoshopWorld), and in 2009, Nick received the Blackberry Small Business Award for the development of signature retouching techniques used at SlickforceStudio.
In 2010, Nick created Mastering Retouching™, a revolutionary training series that has taught thousands of photographers and retouchers from over 50 countries how to give their images a professional finish. Nick currently shoots for national and international ad campaigns, major magazines, album covers, and his work has been featured on Larry King Live, E! News, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, MTV, VH1, as well as in countless print and digital publications.
Nick has photographed national and international campaigns for Skechers, Sears, Nuvo, QuickTrim, Wacom, Urban Attitude and many others. His work has been featured on Larry King Live, The View, The Huffington Post, Keeping Up with Kardashians, E! News, The Soup, Khloé & Lamar, Kourtney & Khloé take Miami, The Real McCoy (Lisa Raye), Extra, and Inside Edition, and in publications such as People, Ocean Drive, Hamptons, The Wall Street Journal, Maxim, OK, LA Confidential, Photoshop User, and the New York Times.
In August 2011, Nick Saglimbeni created and launched WMB 3D: World’s Most Beautiful, the first magazine entirely photographed and designed in 3D.
Nick and SlickforceStudio have partnered with RAINN and Redlight Children to help end sexual abuse among women and put an end to sex trafficking of children worldwide. A portion of the proceeds are donated to these charities, as well as The Nature Conservancy, and World Land Trust.
Nick brings out something in me that no other photographer does. He has created the ultimate comfort zone for models, and he has set the
new standard for Glam photography.
