After Five Years Behind the Lens, This Photographer Is Switching Sides at EXXXOTICA

Sarah Williams · 2026-10-22

For five years, Nani has been the guy behind the camera at EXXXOTICA, capturing moments for other people. Now, he's stepping out from behind the lens to run his own booth at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison. It's a big shift for the photographer known professionally as NN Creative, and he's bringing a crew of new and established models with him. ### From Family Snapshots to Convention Floors Nani's path to EXXXOTICA wasn't exactly a straight line. He started with family photos and landscapes, then moved into events and New York fashion. Eventually, he found himself documenting adult-industry events for half a decade. "It's not a progression," he says. "I want to see the other side of the world. What happens if I got a booth? I want to experience it." That curiosity is what's driving him now. He's not just looking to promote himself—he wants to understand the whole experience from a different angle. ### A Booth Built for Newcomers The booth will feature fourteen models, including eight newcomers and several experienced performers. Nani is also working with a team of four photographers, which is a change from his usual solo grind. Why? Because he remembers what it was like starting out. "Five years back, no one encouraged me or gave me direction," he says. "Now I am in a position to do something like this." For Nani, success isn't about numbers or sales—it's about how the models feel. "If a model who is at my booth is happy and secure, that's it." That simple goal says a lot about his approach. > "For me, EXXXOTICA is about capturing the moment. It's my responsibility to send it to the model." – Nani ### What to Expect at EXXXOTICA New Jersey EXXXOTICA is the largest adult entertainment expo in the U.S., and the New Jersey stop is always a big one. This year's event runs at the NJ Convention and Expo Center in Edison. You can expect the usual mix of exhibitors, performers, and fans, but Nani's booth will have a different vibe—more collaborative, more focused on giving newcomers a chance to shine. If you're in the area, it's worth checking out. And if you're a model looking for a supportive environment, this might be the booth for you. ### The Takeaway Nani's story is a reminder that sometimes the best way to understand something is to jump in and try it yourself. After years of watching from the sidelines, he's ready to be part of the action. And he's bringing others along for the ride. Whether you're a fan, a photographer, or just curious about the industry, this booth is one to watch. For more information about EXXXOTICA, visit the official website.
