AWARDS Px3 (Prix de la Photographie), Graphis, AOP (The Association of Photographers), Applied Arts, IPA Lucie Award (nomination) Self-taught and unapologetically experimentative, Nick possesses an innate curiosity and a natural eye for striking imagery. During his childhood, he became fascinated by the intricacies of nature, examining rocks, plants and insects. A teenage passion for photography ultimately led to a career in the advertising and design industries. As a struggling freelance photographer, he was asked by his then-girlfriend, a designer for the TV show The Big Breakfast , to X-ray a Pepsi can. The resulting image sparked an idea that he has explored for over 25 years. Inspired by the floral radiographs of the photographer and dental scientist Albert G. Richards, Nick has X-rayed everything from Christmas trees to the fashion designs of Alexander McQueen. Most famously, he created a life-size rendition of a Boeing 777 jet airliner using over 1000 separate X-rays, which subsequently featured on the side of a hangar for United Airlines. His award-winning photography has been exhibited as far as Taiwan and South Korea. In 2017, his solo Inside Out exhibition was held in Sweden at Fotografiska, one of the world’s largest meeting spaces for contemporary photography. Nick gave a private tour to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden. Nick’s work is held in the permanent collections of prestigious establishments including the National Museum of Science and Technology (Italy), the National Science and Media Museum (UK) and the Fort Wayne Museum of Art (USA). He has also released a hardback book, titled X-Ray: See Through the World Around You .
