more about nikki
Nikki Malvar is an editorial photographer working with place, people, and lived environments.
Based in Sydney, she works with travel brands, boutique hotels, tourism boards, creatives, and design-led businesses across Australia.
Her work sits between editorial and commercial, guided by observation rather than orchestration. She photographs environments as they are inhabited, allowing narrative to unfold naturally and with restraint.
Commissioned by brands, destinations, and creative businesses, she creates imagery that feels transportive, enduring, and quietly distinctive.

view fine art editions
Alongside commissioned travel and lifestyle photography, selected works are released as limited edition, large-format fine art prints.
Created in faraway places and shaped by movement, light, and lived experience, these works are studies of atmosphere and environment.
Designed for residential, hospitality, and interior spaces that value presence and place, each series offers a way to bring distant environments into everyday settings.
These collections exist independently of commercial projects - quieter observations made while travelling, documenting, and paying attention.
