Nick Mele: A Modern Day Slim Aarons

Nick Mele: A Modern Day Slim Aarons

Earlier this summer, as part of our Summer Travel Series, we featured Newport, Rhode Island through the lens of celebrated photographer Nick Mele.


This week, we’re back with part two of our conversation, turning to Nick’s career journey, creative process, and signature style that blends timeless elegance with humor.


Often referred to as a modern-day Slim Aarons, Nick has carved out a space as one of today’s most distinctive visual storytellers — capturing Newport’s coastal charm, the vibrancy of Palm Beach society, and the whimsical details that bring luxury culture to life.


In this episode, Nick opens up about the winding road to becoming a fine art photographer:

  • How bartending at 30 with a young family sparked his rediscovery of photography

  • What he learned from working with legendary society photographer Patrick McMullan

  • Why access and authenticity became his competitive edge in an oversaturated market

  • How humor transformed into a cornerstone of his signature style

  • What’s next as he expands further into fine art and lifestyle photography


If you’re passionate about creativity, photography, luxury culture, and the art of storytelling, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
