Meet Your Host.
Nicholas, AKA Intricate Explorer, is a self-taught adventure photographer that grew up skiing, hiking, and climbing all things in Colorado.
But after spending the better part of a half decade studying and working in the advertising industry, he realized he’d lost his path.
It wasn’t until he picked up a camera and began exploring that he realized the true power of adventure.
Now his photography has amassed more 100 million views online via Unsplash, and his photos have been used in more than 800,000 projects across the globe.
For the first time ever, Nicholas is revealing all of his secrets in one, complete course.

The Reviews
Brett Miller - Student
“Explorer University legit changed my life. I was going through a dark time- it felt like the universe was against me. But once I got out and started shooting, things began to change. Slowly, for sure. But now I’m doing way better. Whenever I feel depressed, I just go shoot. It helps in a weird way… I’m not sure why, but it’s doing something good for my head.”

“I’ve been watching Intricate for years. When he told me he was dropping a course and wanted me to beta test it, I was honored. Let me just say this thing is awesome. I never knew how much went into shooting photos. Getting better day by day... One of these years I’m gonna pass you up Intricate, watch your back!”

“This course is so helpful. So many YouTube channels just give you all these little tiny nuggets of information here and there, and it’s hard to piece it all together- especially when it comes to stuff like editing. Explorer University solved this problem.
