About

Nick shoots people. In landscapes, homes - modest and palatial, private places, schools, hospices and hospitals.

He has a fascination with faces, the smooth unlined faces of children and the lined faces of their Grandparents.

The infinite colours of skin, hair and eyes.

Relationships, between friends, between families, between strangers, models on a shoot, are his obsession.

The body language, the mime that happens in a still image is key to telling the story.

He uses light and it’s interplay with form and texture to give the picture depth and colour.

He loves the sunlight of summer, the sparkling on water, vivid green saturation through leaves and grass.

Behind all this , quietly in the background, is the preparation, the organization, the post-production and his reputation.

He is now using these same fascinations in his moving images.

He grew up in Zambia and South Africa and has a BA in Graphic Design from Central St Martins College, London.

Nivea, a personal selection.

DateTuesday, June 14, 2011 at 08:59AM

I thought I would add a personal selection to yesterdays blog, with some out takes of the crew. 

Andrea and Steve, married.

This was one of the first images taken on day one, and we were feeling our way a bit, I think we actually had a queue of people waiting!

 

Laura and Ben, a couple in Birmingham.

We later decided not to have any shots into the lens.

Dean and Emily, Birmingham. I was always surprised how soon the camera, crew and passers by became so easily forgotten.

Emma Richard and Vespa

Jack and Hazel, Birmingham

Andrea, Blossom and Dorene. A fab trio!

You couldn't really miss these three! All members of a Gospel choir.

Herbie, Sarah, Mahalia, Saul, Noah and Beulah, London Westbourne Park.

Bonnie and Robin, father and daughter, Liverpool Street London.

Mary and Ernest, on Brighton Pier, I asked them to dance. It was cold, wet and windy.

They loved it.

Santabin, Tejbai. Narbada and Hansa , also dancing in Cardiff, also in the rain.

Wonderful patience and humour.

Raymond and Maxine, Brighton, in a gale!

Nadine, Louise,Margaret, Sandra and Nick, friends in torrential rain Edinburgh.

Lorraine and Martine, an Abba look-a-like group on a little boat in Cardiff Bay.

For once it wasn't raining.

Deanne, Leela, Ellie and Colin, "working". It was pouring with rain outside.
