Director

& Photographer

I’m Nicholas Gelakis, a multi-disciplinary creative from Miami. Passionate about breaking barriers in my community, I strive to empower South Florida through immersive visuals and community initiatives. With my legacy, I hope to shape our city's creatives a better future.

The majority of my work is self-initiated visuals. I focus in capturing my communities , both in picture and in motion. My commission work primarily consists of studio design and visuals, where I work to capture brand visions that align and emphasize messages and themes of collaboration.

Established in 2022, MOTTO™ is my brainchild. We're dedicated to amplifying global influence, nurturing confidence, and creating boundless environments for creatives. Through collaboration with like-minded, I work to foster a sense of community. Our mission is to curate captivating entertainment that reflects these values, encourage living beyond the ordinary.

Currently, I'm part of Chaos Media Studios (2023-Present) based in Miami. Our focus spans across various content domains including entertainment, finance, medicine, and the environment. We aspire to deliver top-notch content for clients, while also offering a platform on our productions such as Chaos Made Podcast and Chaos Kitchen. As the Chaos brand expands, we continue on our mission of delving into the chaos within individuals' lives. Through our conversations, we seek to unveil the untold stories behind the Hollywood glitz, showcasing the human side of it all.

But what’s next for me? In 2024, MOTTO™’s content continues to grow, and my career trajectory is on a sharp incline. An upcoming highlight is a documentary, tentatively titled, focusing on a Miami-based artist amidst the whirlwind of Art Basel week. For the latest updates on my upcoming projects, be sure to follow me on social media.
