Nick “I first became interested in photography whilst I was at school in the early 1980’s. When I left school I went to college in Wallasey and was taught by Tom Wood – It was around this time that I began a body of work documenting a traveller community in North Wales, as well as everyday life in Liverpool and Merseyside. After Wallasey I continued my studies at Wolverhampton Poly under Nick Hedges, and finally in the early 1990’s I went to Newport which was then headed up by Daniel Meadows.”

“In recent years I’ve been working on self funded projects both in Beirut and nearer to home, reflecting my own awareness and vulnerabilities in the wider communities I find myself in. I’m attempting to balance the desire to capture the changing times we live in, whilst at the same time ironically facing the increasing dilemma of other people’s awareness of the power of the image, the perception others may have of the creator or the reasons for creating those images.”
