Nicholas Rhodes is the Founder of OutSnapped.com, and has spent the last two decades at the intersection of technology, human experience, and data — long before AI made that combination fashionable.

Since 2023, OutSnapped has been on the forefront of bringing AI, photo, and video to the event space, proving a thesis Nicholas has held since his early days building photo-driven communities: that when the right technology meets the right human experience, the results aren't just memorable, they're measurable. Fun Experience + Consumers = Actionable Marketing Data.

His path to that equation was anything but conventional. Starting as a photographer documenting NYC's nightlife, Nicholas built NickyDigital.com into a 150k-visitor-a-day platform, ran the photo marketing program for Webster Hall, Pollstar's No.1 Ticket Sales Venue in the world, and co-founded an electronic music festival that ran for a decade, all on the core belief that community-building and data are the same thing in different clothing.

OutSnapped was born from that belief: a scalable business that uses AI-powered photo and video experiences to help brands turn fleeting human moments into lasting, actionable connections. Today, Nicholas is also partnered across several AI-native ventures, working on the front lines of how technology is reshaping the way businesses operate and grow.

He believes the same formula that works on an event floor applies to any organization navigating AI adoption — the technology is the easy part. The hard part is keeping the human experience at the center.

Nicholas writes about exactly that in his newsletter, ArtificiallyIntimidating.com — a dispatch on the real, practical ways AI is changing how we work, one shift at a time.
