Nick shoots The Darkness
You can see from the title that Nick has been wallowing in it recently – mud at festivals, that is!
Having said that, it’s been a strange year on the festival circuit with many of the rock festivals that Nick usually works with the bands, such as Sonisphere and High Voltage, buckling under the weight of these economic times and the Olympics.
But the show must go on, and it has been a busy time of late in the mud and darkness.
Roll on the summer!
UK Tour Enters Europe

Château Les Carrasses
Nick’s images are in high demand as limited edition pieces of fine art photography and collections are exhibited currently in galleries across the UK.
And now, for the first time, Nick’s images are going to be shown across the channel.
The unique album art and licensing specialists, Off Beat Lounge, has invited Nick to exhibit in its newly opened gallery located in the absolutely gorgeous Château Les Carrasses.
A 19th Century Wine Domaine in the Languedoc, South of France, the luxury venue is the perfect location for showcasing Nick’s images and will hopefully be the first of many galleries exhibiting overseas.
So, ‘UK Tour’ may not be too appropriate for much longer – we’ll have to start referring to European Tour instead!

All wrapped up and ready to go!
Posted on May 25, 2012
Elliott Studios is always busy looking after Nick’s images and the task that has dominated activities of late is the re-distribution of limited edition fine art to sell in our partner galleries.
New work for new collectors has been printed, mounted and framed – a precision job which can’t be rushed. This month we’ve been handling around 35 images and, now, they’re ready for wrapping and distribution.
The fabulous images in these photographs will soon be en-route to our newest gallery to the fold – specialist music art and book publishers Red Label Publishing, who will be the exclusive online supplier of Nick’s work.
Red Label Publishing are currently developing the new online gallery at: www.redlabelpublishing.com but in the meantime, you can check out the news as it develops on their blog at www.redlabelpublishing.co.uk.

Nick with The Commander In chief
You can’t get more ‘rock-chick’ than the subject of Nick’s shoot earlier this week – 7-string metal guitarist and singer/songwriter, The Commander In Chief.
Nick created some awesome shots to accompany an interview with The Commander in American rock publication Revolver Magazine next month and to promote her next tour.
So, we thought you may like to sneak a peak backstage to see how the shoot came together…

Lounging around with Off Beat

Mark Overton of Off Beat Lounge with Nick
A new exciting partnership with unique album art and licensing specialists, Off Beat Lounge, was cemented today with the delivery of four of Nick’s limited edition images.
Specialising in offering some of the world’s most iconic music related photography and rare signed album artwork, Off Beat invited Nick to be the final member of an exclusive group of four of the world’s leading rock photographers including Mick Rock, Dennis O’Regan and Michael Spencer Jones.
We’re delighted with the partnership, this is what owner, Mark Overton, had to say about it all:
“Having been a private collector of signed fine art rock photography & limited edition album cover prints for quite some time, I decided to launch Off Beat Lounge in 2010, and in doing so, morph my love of rock art into a business.
Now, having opened our first gallery and consultation service in Norwich, I’m delighted that Nick Elliott has made some of the very finest live shots ever taken available to Off Beat clients.
Nick’s ability to capture some of the greatest innovators and performers in rock music at close quarters is a marvel to behold, and without hesitation I’d now place Nick’s work above the vast majority of live photography available.
In person, Nick Elliott rocks as much as the imagery he captures. One is left in no doubt that his camera is every bit his Les Paul or Stratocaster.
Over the coming years Off Beat Lounge will be working closely with Nick Elliott, and offering not only opportunities to view and acquire his amazing work, but also, on a few rare occasions, the chance to ask him a few questions over a beer. More than ever, we’re worth knowing…..We’re Off Beat! “
‘Festival of Colours’
Posted on March 27, 2012
Resident in galleries around the UK, collections of Nick’s fine art photography is available to buy all year round.
But occasionally Nick is invited to participate in special exhibitions and next month, Storm Fine Arts is running ‘Festival of Colours’ in celebration of their second anniversary.
We’ll bring you pictures from the VIP private viewing Nick will be attending, but why not pop along yourselves and enjoy the show?
‘Festival of Colours’ will be running from 7th April to 4th June at Storm Fine Arts in Burnham Market, Norfolk.
What a riot!

Last month Nick enjoyed shooting the fabulous indie rock band Kaiser Chiefs’ on the first leg of their world tour.
We thought you’d like to see some of the terrific images from the shoot which appeared recently in Fine City Magazine.
Rivalling The Cherry
Posted on March 12, 2012
Nick is renowned for making the most of any opportunity to get the best shot possible so when asked to cover the Black Stone Cherry and Rival Sons gigs, he looked at every possible angle.
From sound-check and through to the performance, Nick shot the bands on-stage, side-stage and off-stage at Norwich UEA last night.
This was the first time Nick had caught up with the brilliant Rival Sons since the Classic Rock awards in November and the high energy rockers Black Stone Cherry since their VIP acoustic gig early last year.
As usual, Nick got into whatever position he could to get THE photo. If you were there, it may have been difficult to spot him in the pit but on stage there was no missing him.
