About

Hi, I'm John Nikas.

Real estate photographer and NC Realtor®, born and raised in Winston-Salem.

My Story

A Realtor® behind the camera.

I was born and raised in Winston-Salem and live in Clemmons today, so the Triad is home. I first got serious about photography on a trip to Greece as a student at The Ohio State University, and I still have the Canon A1 film camera I shot with on that trip.

I’m also a licensed North Carolina Realtor® (GRI), so I see listing photos the way agents and buyers do. They’re the first showing. Most buyers decide whether to visit a home based on what they see online.

Lighting a home well is harder than it looks: mixed light sources add different colors and shadows. I combine skilled composition with careful editing, so you get accurate, natural, polished photos in 24 to 48 hours.

Why Agents Work With Me

Built around how listings actually sell.

A Realtor's eye

I know what buyers look for and what agents need for the MLS, so every shot has a purpose.

Fast turnaround

Photos are ready within 24 to 48 hours, so your listing can go live on schedule.

Easy ordering

Prices are posted up front. There’s no fee to order, and you can pay at closing.

Who I Work With

Listing agents and homeowners across the Triad.

I photograph homes for listing agents and for homeowners selling on their own across the Piedmont Triad of NC & beyond.
