I'm British writer, photographer and creative director making work about journeys, people, and place.

After years working as an art director for agencies such as Wunderman and Ogilvy, in London. I left my desk to pursue an MA in Photojournalism, and to work in the field ‑ where the most compelling stories are found.

I work freely across commercial and editorial spaces and enjoy a wonderful cross pollination of both.

I’ve documented Argentine estancia life for Gaucho Getaways, crossed Sudan’s Bayuda Desert by camel for SUITCASE Magazine , explored Japanese and Scandinavian-inspired living for KABN, taken tea with the Tuareg for JRNY Magazine , and covered climate resilience in Senegal for the Royal Photographic Society Journal and SOS Sahel.

My rules: Lightness above weightiness, elevate everyone you encounter.

What People Are Saying

Nick's brain doesn't work the same way as most brains. Nick's brain questions things and challenges the norm. His brain pushes boundaries and doesn't accept mediocrity. Quite simply, Nick has the most creative brain I've ever come across.

Steve White, Managing Director, RedC Marketing

We have been truly blessed working with Nick. Nick’s engagement for the job from the very start to the final set of pictures has been outstanding. He has been very open for our ideas and has put our product is the best of lights.  His vision for situations and settings, playing with light and the people delivered wonderful results. Although we had limited time, Nick created a wonderful atmosphere, it almost felt relaxing working with him. Thank you for your flexibility on spending some extra time with us.

Julia Janocha, Marketing Manager, Norevo

I commissioned a Sudan photo diary from Nick for the Summer 2020 print issue of SUITCASE Magazine, and asked him to write some accompanying words. It's not always a guarantee that a photographer will be as comfortable writing, but I was really impressed by Nick's words – he gave an atmospheric, characterful and thoughtful vision of the Bayuda desert.

Olivia Squire, Print Editor, Suitcase Magazine (now Conde Nast Traveller)

Working with Nick was an absolute pleasure and a truly inspiring experience. His open-mindedness, flexibility, and approachable nature made the entire collaboration effortless. Nick took the time to genuinely understand our vision, and the results were nothing short of breathtaking. His stunning photographs celebrate the richness of Sahelian products and the hardworking individuals behind these treasures. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner to bring our story to life.

Rémi Hémeryck, Executive Director of SOS SAHEL

Nicholas really pushes boundaries when it comes to photography – he captures the ordinary and makes it extraordinary. We were honoured to feature his images and stories in Bradt’s digital magazine, The Travel Club, and can’t wait to see more of his work once travel is back on the cards again.
