Through the Lens
a close-up look at Mitty’s photographers
Nick Delucchi
Nick will be graduating on May 29 and
is attending UC Davis in the fall. Aside from
photography he enjoys camping, philosophy,
and learning about the world in general.
What attracted you to photography in the first place?
I liked the effect that photography has on people, that
it can really make them think about how awesome the
world around us really is.
What is your favorite thing to photograph?
I like to photograph people because of the emotions
that I can convey through them, but I don’t always
have the opportunity because either people aren’t
available or just aren’t willing.
What inspires you?
Pretty much anything inspires me: any art I see, the
people I meet, the subjects I learn in class--anything.
Describe the favorite photo you’ve taken:
My favorite photograph would have to the one of the
pedestrian bridge over 280 on the way to Foothill
(center). I always liked the way it looked, so one night
I went out and took a few hundred shots, cropped two
together to get the whole height of the structure, and
out came the product.
Where do you plan to take this hobby?
I might take a class or two on digital photography in
college, but I won’t major in it. I would like to one
day photograph bacteria and microscopic life, though;
I’ve always wished I could.
How would you describe your photographic style?
I’m kinda all over but I do tend to favor Macro style
when it comes to nature. And I do really enjoy taking
pictures of the sky. Perhaps I’m a nature photographer
who has the occasional desire to photograph people.
