Nick Midwig is an award-winning cinematographer with over a decade of experience setting the visual tone for critically acclaimed documentaries, series, and commercial campaigns. His work pairs well-developed vérité instincts with a particular talent for high-end, cinematic visuals in service of human storytelling.

Most recently, Nick served as director of photography on the Emmy-nominated I Am: Celine Dion, the intimate portrait of the legendary singer's life and her struggle with a rare neurological disease. Released by Amazon MGM Studios, the film earned a 2025 Primetime Emmy nomination for Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking and became Prime Video's most-watched documentary, widely praised for its tender, unguarded access to one of the world's most recognizable artists.

Nick also lensed the duPont–Columbia Award-winning Leave No Trace, a searing investigation into the century-long history of abuse within the Boy Scouts of America. Shot with sensitivity and restraint, the film gave voice to survivors speaking publicly for the first time and helped bring national attention to the largest sexual-abuse settlement in U.S. history.

His work spans Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, HBO, Disney+, Hulu, and National Geographic. For Netflix's SEC Football: Any Given Saturday, Nick balanced the intensity of the field with the intimacy of the players' homes — moving from the roar of the stadium to quiet, personal moments with the same assured hand. Earlier in his career, his feature Moonlight Sonata: Deafness in Three Movements — the story of a deaf boy, his grandfather, and the Beethoven sonata written as the composer lost his own hearing — premiered at the Sundance Film Festival before airing on HBO.

Nick also served as series cinematographer for two seasons of National Geographic's MARS, executive produced by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, which earned an IDA Award nomination for Best Episodic Series and was called "visually gorgeous" by The New Yorker.

He brings that same documentary sensibility to the commercial space, lending an authentic, story-driven eye to campaigns for clients such as Dodge Ram, Subaru, Citi Bank, Ford, Sports Illustrated, Lexus, and more.

Whether filming scientists in Antarctica, Shaolin monks in China, or complex starscapes in the Atacama Desert, Nick brings a steady, empathetic eye to every frame
