Street Photography

[cl_column width="2/3" css_style="padding-top:0px"][cl_column width="1/3" col_sticky="1"] Street Photography Street Photography is at the heart of Nick’s approach to image making, he considers it the hardest challenge in photography. A great Street Photograph usually combines fantastic framing with a spectacular moment and an element of cleverness, thereby appealing to the eye, the mind and the heart. Part of the documentary tradition in photography, Street Photography is a specific and distinct approach to recording life in public places. In 2017 Nick Turpin suggested Candid Public Photography as a more descriptive and inclusive definition. Over 202k images on Instagram now use the #canpubphoto hashtag to denote that the images are unstaged and unmanipulated. Category Street Photography Share

Shifts

[cl_column width="2/3" css_style="padding-top:0px"][cl_column width="1/3" col_sticky="1"] Shifts For decades Street Photographs have looked the same, they have followed a well used template that was born in the 1930’s, developed a little in the 1960’s and become well and truly saturated in the 2000’s. This project deliberately shifts away from the Rangefinder and 35mm lens snap, it replaces the one-liner with a bigger, broader view of the street that takes into account not just the people but the realm they inhabit. Structures and spaces are as important in these pictures as the people who pass through them. The series combines my love of candid public photography with the order and discipline of my commissioned architectural photography. Composition, atmosphere, depth and light are used to set the scene for a tableau of figures. Date 2022 Category Street Photography Share

Exodus

[cl_column width="2/3" css_style="padding-top:0px"][cl_column width="1/3" col_sticky="1"] Exodus Exodus was shot in the financial district of London during the global Coronavirus Pandemic between March 2020 and February 2021. Known as The City of London or The Square Mile, the area is full of impressive glass and steel landmark office buildings.On 23rd March 2020, the British Government announced a lockdown imposing new rules on the movement of the population in an effort to control the spread of the Coronavirus. Offices were closed and people were sent home to work. This has a dramatic effect on the look and feel of the Square Mile, one of the busiest districts of London was left deserted with billions of pounds worth of real estate sitting empty.
