The Team

Embodied Moments NYC is brought to life through collaboration — a dialogue between photography, film, and couture, shaped by a team of artisans and creatives across New York.

Nicky Conti - Concept Creator, Photographer, Creative Director and Model

Maltese fine art street photographer and multidisciplinary artist based in New York City. Her work explores the geometry and rhythm of urban architecture, capturing fleeting moments where light transforms the city’s structures into quiet compositions of shadow and form.

Through her project Embodied Moments NYC, Conti expands her photographic practice into couture, translating her images into wearable art and reintroducing them into the very landscapes that inspired them. Her work bridges photography, garment design, and performance — transforming still imagery into embodied memory.


Emeline directed and produced the on-location films, capturing movement, atmosphere, and narrative continuity — transforming each embodied moment into a cinematic experience.
