Route A149

We don’t usually bring you news of every photographic shoot that Nick’s involved in (there’d be too many and we thought you’d get a bit bored!).  But the latest shoot was a little different…

Nick has worked with country-folk/rock, singer songwriter, Lesley Curtis throughout her career and decided she’d make a fabulous subject for some concept work.

So whilst shooting the new cover for her latest album, he took the chance to take work through some other ideas.

The weather was great, the location was the North Norfolk coast, and the shoot was just awesome.

A great day was had by all…

St Pauls welcomes Nick’s work

Symon Bland from St Paul's Gallery and Nick

We’re so pleased to be working with the wonderful specialist music art gallery in Birmingham; St Pauls.

Last week we dropped off a new collection for them to exhibit and Nick was asked to add his signature to the ‘artist’s piano’.

What a star!

Fated to speak to Fatea

Music magazine Fatea has been covering the Cambridge Folk Festival for 21 years and, for some of that time, Nick has shot images of the festival for the magazine.

So, it must have been fate that one day Nick would find himself the subject of an interview by Managing Editor Neil King…….http://tinyurl.com/3vdmw4q

Nick Elliott UK Tour

If you’ve not been keeping up to date with the blog, you may have missed the fact that images from the collections are being exhibited in art galleries around the UK and that touring exhibitions are also held regularly.

So, we’ve added a page to the blog for easy reference about where you can see Nick’s images in all their glory, and you can even purchase them as finished framed pictures to hang straight on your wall!

Take a look at the UK Tour page for more info and keep visiting regularly for more galleries as they’re added.

Sales were rising by the minute and collectors had the opportunity to get their copy personalised by Nick in the official book signing.

BBC Look East

Nick was interviewed from the Cambridge Folk Festival by BBC TV for their Look East programme to talk about his debut book TEN-A Decade In Images.

Here’s another chance to watch part of it:

Backstage, onstage, it’s every stage with Thin Lizzy!

Planet Rock’s competition winner Matt Brand enjoyed a photography tutorial with Nick shooting Thin Lizzy backstage and onstage at High Voltage Festival.

First up was the backstge shoot where Nick showed Matt how to set up a quick press shot of the band…

“Heady days of fun, fear and the pure thrill of playing Cambridge”

Thanks to the lovely Julie Fowlis for her warm and genuine quote for inclusion in TEN-A Decade In Images:

This image instantly catapults me back to my younger days at Cambridge Folk Festival.  Heady days of fun, fear and the pure thrill of playing Cambridge as an artist in my own right. It brings back fond memories and I like the happy vibe that Nick has managed to capture here. It’s an honour to be included. Mo thaing dhut Nick. x

You’re simply priceless, Julie.
