I'm Nate Compton
Hey there! Welcome to my site, I'm Nate Compton.
I'm a photographer, videographer and designer in Denver, CO. I earned my journalism degree with an emphasis in photojournalism and documentary filmmaking from The University of Missouri with the Murray Center for Documentary Journalism. I offer services for photography, videography, editing, and design, both local and remote. Please fill out a Contact Form for estimate pricing and general inquiries.
I began photography in 2010 with photojournalism. My passion and creativity led me to pursue other aspects of photography, starting with taking conceptual, fine-art photos, and spreading to client work such as portraits and weddings. I've always been a creative and through my experience with all forms of photography I offer a unique way of shooting.
As time went on, I soon began to also work as a graphic designer and videographer. My prior experience with photography helped me excel in both of these areas, as they are all about visuals and are interrelate. The way that I work on each of these arts is heavily influenced by my experience in the other forms, from the planning to the final production. My practice in these various visual fields gives me a new and creatively unique perspective— offering an original and visually stunning end-product in each of the mediums. These three things became my passion and I quickly knew that this was what I wanted to do with my life.
For every photo and video shoot, editing project, and every design, I strive to further push my creativity to offer an individual experience and, in the end, a piece of art.
“The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death.
Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create — so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him.
He must create, must pour out creation.
By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.”
