Nikita is a Senior Writer on the Reviews team at Tom's Guide. She is a lifelong gaming and photography enthusiast, especially interested in wildlife photography. Having worked as a Sub Editor and Writer for Canon EMEA, she’s a bit of a grammar nerd (and a supporter of the Oxford comma), and has also interviewed photographers from all over the world and working in different genres.
A holder of two master’s degrees, the most recent one being in Magazine Journalism from Cardiff University, Nikita’s work has appeared in several publications such as Motor Sport Magazine, NME, Marriott Bonvoy, The Independent, and Metro. Her favorite tech includes the PS5, the DJI Air 3S, and the Fujifilm X-T50. She's also a licensed drone pilot and cameras expert so you'll find her testing those nearly every week.
In her downtime, Nikita can usually be found sinking hours into RPGs on her PS5, flying a drone, out on a walk with a camera in hand, at a concert, watching F1, or planning her next tattoo. You can follow her photography account on Instagram here.
