About the Item

Nicholas Trofimuk is a fine art photographer and Master Printer whose work spans black-and-white landscapes, archival pigment color prints, and his signature "Vibographs." Raised in New Jersey, Trofimuk's path to photography began after encountering an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, which redirected a lifelong practice of drawing and painting toward the camera. In 1987 he relocated to New Mexico, where he spent over three decades developing a large-format practice rooted in black-and-white printing and tonal precision. Represented for more than 35 years by Photogenesis Gallery at Santa Fe's La Fonda Hotel, he became one of the most widely collected photographers in the Southwest, with work held in collections including those of Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, and Robert Duvall. In 2012, he expanded into archival pigment color prints, maintaining an unretouched, true-to-life approach to color that mirrors his black-and-white discipline. Trofimuk's subjects range from the intimate, flowers and succulents captured in sensual close detail, to the expansive, including the landscapes of New Mexico and cityscapes of London, Paris, Chicago, and New York. Across every subject, his aim remains constant: to transport the viewer physically, emotionally, or spiritually into the moment captured. In 2024, following the loss of his wife and longtime creative partner, Trofimuk moved to California's Monterey Peninsula to be near his daughter. There, the region's flowers, succulents, and seascapes became his new focus. He continues to work as a Master Printer, producing traditional matted and framed prints alongside luxury high-definition prints on ChromaLuxe panels, a format he uses to give his images a tactile, almost dimensional presence.
