About Nicholai Nielsen
Photographer based in Porto, Portugal

Hi, I'm Nicholai, a danish photographer based in Porto, Portugal.
For me, photography is about immersed creation—searching for light, compelling compositions, and unique angles that reveal the character of a place.
Over the years, my camera has taken me across Europe, from the peaks of the Dolomites and the rolling hills of Tuscany to the fairy-tale settings of Lake Bled, Mont Saint-Michel, and Hallstatt.
Today, my work focuses on three core areas:
-
Porto Photo Tours: Guided street, cityscape, and landscape photo walks across Porto and northern Portugal, designed to help you explore the city while capturing better photographs in real time.
-
Photography Courses: Hands-on, practical instruction to help beginners and enthusiasts master camera settings, lighting, and visual storytelling with clarity and confidence.
-
Fine Art Prints: A curated collection of European landscape and cityscape photographs, produced to high standards for homes and professional spaces.
Whether you're looking to elevate your photographic skills on a tour, take a structured course, or collect a print for your space, my goal is to share the creativity and joy that photography brings.
My Gear
I shoot with full-frame equipment to ensure every print delivers exceptional detail at big sizes.
