In 2011, Saglimbeni began publishing the 3D magazine WMB 3D: World's Most Beautiful, which earned him the Grand Prize in 3D at the 2012 Sony World Photography Awards.[8] He debuted the photography project SlickforceGirl in 2012,[9] which features models in heroic contexts with comic-book-inspired visuals.[10] The shoots and videos have featured models such as Erika Medina[11][12] and Melanie Iglesias.[11] In 2018, Saglimbeni launched Painted Princess Project, a portrait campaign which raises money to help victims of human trafficking.[13]

Early life and education

Nick Saglimbeni was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland.[9] He moved to Los Angeles to attend the USC School of Cinematic Arts,[9] where his cinematography mentors included John Hora and Woody Omens.[14] Saglimbeni graduated with a master's degree in cinematography.[9]

Career

Slickforce Studio and early shoots

After graduating from college, Saglimbeni began working as both a cinematographer and a photographer. In January 2004 he opened Slickforce Studio,[15] a multimedia company focused on motion picture production and commercial photography. As of 2014 the company's photographers produced material for magazines, ad campaigns, record labels, and websites.[15] Early work included photography and album artwork for rap artists such as Nas, Ice-T, T.I., Omarion, Game, and Birdman. He later worked with women in entertainment such as model Estella Warren, actresses Roselyn Sánchez, Gabrielle Union,[9] and Sarah Shahi, and TV personalities Vanessa Lachey, and Layla Kayleigh.[9] He is also known for his portraits of the Kardashian-Jenner family and Sean "Diddy" Combs,[3] and he has photographed commercial campaigns for large companies such as Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Sears, Kmart, Skechers, and Wacom.[3] Through Slickforce, Saglimbeni has also created works to benefit nonprofit organizations, such as Autism Speaks,[6] Breast Cancer Charities of America (BCCA),[16][17] the Epilepsy Foundation, Hope for the Warriors,[18] Toys for Tots,[19] and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.[20]

Work with the Kardashian-Jenner family

In August 2007, Saglimbeni met socialite Kim Kardashian while photographing her cover shoot for a magazine. Following the shoot, he continued to photograph Kim and her family members Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Rob Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner[21][22][23] (then Bruce)[a][24] for projects such as the Kardashian Kollection fashion campaigns,[21][22][23] magazine covers for Kim, Kris and Khloé, Kris Jenner's 2011 autobiography book cover,[25] promotional art for Kris Jenner's talk show, Kim Kardashian's wedding to Kris Humphries,[26] Kylie Jenner Cosmetics,[27] and Kendall and Kylie's first professional modeling shoots.[28]

Saglimbeni's Kardashian-Jenner family Christmas portraits, which he photographed from 2010 through 2012,[29][30] were featured in media outlets such as The View, The Talk, Larry King Live, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show, among others.[9] Kim Kardashian has stated to E! News that Saglimbeni is her favorite photographer,[31] and Saglimbeni has been featured around a dozen times on the reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians and its related spin-offs, where he chiefly makes appearances as the family photographer.[32] In season six, Saglimbeni encourages Kendall Jenner to pursue professional modeling during a shoot at Slickforce Studio.[32] In 2022, Saglimbeni joined the Hulu series “The Kardashians” as consulting producer.

WMB 3D and 3D photography

Main article: WMB 3D: World's Most Beautiful

In 2010, Saglimbeni patented his own Saglimbeni3D photography system. Saglimbeni had designed the system's post-production techniques along with Joyce Park, the post-production supervisor at Slickforce Studio. Unlike most similar systems, the Saglimbeni3D system purports to allow the retouching of 3D images.[33] In August 2011, Saglimbeni published the first edition of the magazine WMB 3D: World's Most Beautiful,[34][35] which he billed as the first commercial magazine photographed and designed entirely in 3D. Released both in print and as an iPad app,[36] the first issue featured Kim Kardashian on the cover. Other celebrities who have been featured in the magazine include Stan Lee,[37] Gabrielle Union, Estella Warren, Paul Oakenfold, Kevin Hart, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Melanie Iglesias, Layla Kayleigh and Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat.[38] For his WMB 3D shoot Nuclear Summer, Saglimbeni was awarded the top prize in 3D at the 2012 Sony World Photography Awards in London, England.[8] Later in 2012, he received an award from NVidia for achievements in 3D photography.[14]

SlickforceGirl

In late 2012 Saglimbeni started the photography project SlickforceGirl,[9] where he photographs models and actresses with comic-book-inspired visuals as they "use their beauty, brains and courage to help those in need."[10][39] The first shoot featured Vanessa Veasley[40] as an astronaut,[41] while December 2012 featured Erika Medina[11] as an airman with the Air Force.[12] The series has since featured Nazanin Mandi,[1] Melanie Iglesias,[11] and a number of other models.[10][42] A portion of the profits from SlickforceGirl items are donated to charities[1][10] such as the Hope for the Warriors.[12]

Work with Indian celebrities

Saglimbeni has worked with notable Bollywood celebrities. Since 2011, he worked with Maxim (India) magazine having photographed Mallika Sherawat, Priyanka Chopra,[43] Disha Patani, Ranveer Singh, Neha Dhupia[44] and Shibani Dandekar until the publication’s final issue in December 2018.
