Posted on September 13, 2011
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…

Fated to speak to Fatea
Posted on August 29, 2011
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

“Heady days of fun, fear and the pure thrill of playing Cambridge”
Posted on July 20, 2011
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.

More Artists Praise TEN And Nick’s Images
Posted on July 11, 2011
Thanks to ex-Pulp member Richard Hawley and Cambridge Folk Festival star Bella Hardy for your fabulous quotes for TEN-A Decade In Images:
“Nick’s photographs capture a festival performance feeling which is so hard to put into words; it’s something primal, a feeling fuelled by adrenaline and fear and the way the crowd spurs you on. It’s an honour to be included in his collection.” Bella Hardy
“Proof that I do set up my own equipment! I like this picture – when all the bullshits done with, it’s good to be shown for what I am; a guitarist first and foremost. It was a real privilege to be asked to appear at Cambridge; it has a great history so it’s lovely to be a small part of that. And the audience were amazing – it was a special day for me.” Richard Hawley
Only 18 days to go the book launch and counting. If you’re yet to order your book, hot foot it down to publisher Rufus Stone now http://tinyurl.com/6gw5vn9
“Warm Evocative Photographs”
Posted on June 23, 2011
Nick’s newly released book: TEN – A Decade In Images is still receiving some fabulous quotes.
Here’s what the BBC’s Mark Radcliffe has to say about it…
‘These warm and evocative photographs perfectly capture the intimacy and authenticity of a warm, evocative, inimate and authentic event. As I look through them I am anticipating going back to Cherry Hinton with even more delight than usual. I was tempted to say that if you wanted to know what Cambridge Folk Festival was like then these pictures say it all but that would be stupid. You have to listen to the music of course. But while we wait for that to happen again in July, these photos whet the appetite splendidly’.
Thanks Mark!
