About Nick's Work
My approach to photography is guided my intuition, rather than preconception. The camera gives me a way of looking at every day in a more conscious light and a way of surfacing thoughts and feelings that are otherwise difficult to access and express.
My photography is about subtraction. I approach it with a simple process - focusing on the smaller details, the beauty of the little things. I love light and color.
In a time where the centre of the frames is often the self, this series captures seemingly mundane, fleeting seconds, which to me are the most remarkable. These beautiful moments, too often disregarded, are what need to be immortalized.
