Hello, my name is Nathaniel Smalley. I’m a professional photographer with a deep-rooted connection to Maine. As a sixth-generation ‘Mainah’, my family‘s legacy of craftsmanship and artistry fuels my passion for capturing the essence of this breathtaking state. This lineage includes talented oil painters, fine wood workers, brave fisherman and skilled carpenters. To me, Maine isn’t just another state; it’s a part of me.

This land is a storyteller‘s dream where each corner has a unique tale, waiting to be immortalized in a photograph. Maine is loved for its rugged coastlines, whispering woods, quiet seaside fishing towns, rolling farmlands, majestic mountains, endless waterways and vast expenses of wilderness teeming with wildlife. My photography is a homage to this state and my mission is to share these stories with you, inviting you to experience Maine’s beauty as if you were right here with me. Whether it’s a fog-laced morning by the harbor, a rifle in a mountain stream or the fiery hues of autumn foliage, every photo I capture here is a love letter to this place I call home.

Maine is a state that captivates people born and raised here, and those ‘from away’. Wicked Good Photography is more than just a portfolio of images; it’s a beacon for all who love New England landscape and culture. My business was awarded the prestigious ‘Maine Made’ seal. Recognized around the world, this distinction stands for exceptional quality and unwavering integrity. For generations Maine’s artists and craftsman have upheld a proud tradition of excellence marked by ingenuity, reliability, and resourcefulness. The ‘Maine Made’ program represents some of the state’s finest products, showcasing the beauty of Maine, along with unique items created from its abundant natural resources. Being included among these remarkable businesses is truly a privilege and I’m honored that my photography has earned this mark of exceptionalism.
