Don Nixon: Photographer
#CreativeToWatch
Don Nixon is a fashion and portrait photographer based in Brooklyn, New York.
What is your favorite spot in NYC?
I love Metropolitan Bar out on Lorimer Street in Williamsburg.
What’s on your summer playlist?
I’ve been listening to a lot of Donna Summer and Miley Cyrus lately.
What inspires you?
Modern Art. I’m inspired by other queer artist’s voices. Artwork with meaning.
Favorite project you’ve worked on?
In 2019 I had a billboard in Soho. It was my favorite moment ever.
How do you break out of a creative funk?
Burnout is the hardest thing to overcome. Take a break. Try a different medium.
Favorite form of self care?
Drag Makeup 💄 I love turning on some music and painting my face. It’s when I’m most relaxed.
What are you excited to do now that we aren’t on lock down?
I’m so happy to be at bars again. I know it sounds juvenile but meeting strangers in NY is what I love most about living here.
