Nicole Giampietro

In this episode of Wander Women’s Collective, adventure photographer Nicole Giampietro shares her journey from early GoPro shots to working with major outdoor brands and launching her own production company. With experience in trail running, climbing, expedition photography, and commercial shooting, Nicole opens up about life as a freelance creative and the stories behind some of her favorite projects.

We talk about the meaning she finds in the people and places that shape outdoor work, the balance of freelancing, travel, and passion projects, and the adventures that fuel her creativity—from river surfing to climbing to life on the road. Nicole also shares her big dreams for the future of her creative career and the ways she continues to blend storytelling with outdoor adventure.

This is a thoughtful conversation on storytelling, creativity, and life as a freelance photographer—and such a joy to have a friend on the podcast.
