nick elliott rock art photographer officialIT’S OFFICIAL! A BRAND NEW COLLECTION TO SHOW IN ROME.
Posted on May 26, 2024
I signed the contract this week!
To make it official, we will be taking a brand new collection of 25 images to show in one of the major galleries in the centre of Rome in the Spring of 2025. It’s a project that my Italian office has been working on for the past 12 months. We now have a final go-ahead. The project will be a collaboration with the lovely team at The Medina Arte Design Gallery in central Rome right next door to the Colosseum.
The show will run for seven days from March 28th to April 3th 2025.
Nick will be there for the private viewing evening and for two or three days in the week of the show. Nick would like to say a massive big thank you and congratulations to his Italian team and especially his Italian PA Raffaella Clementi who has brought this whole project to fruition.
I really don’t know what to say about this! No words can tell you how happy and excited I am about taking a new collection of my work to the art centre of the world. Italy!!
It really is a lifelong dream.

WHAT THEY SAY FROM THE ONES THAT WERE THERE! “THE STORY SO FAR”
Posted on May 24, 2024
“Being invited along to ‘Nick Elliott – The Story So Far’ that hot evening last May was without doubt one of the best nights out we had all year.
The Forum in Norwich proved to be the perfect setting for Nick to tell his fascinating life story being an intimate theatre venue where the invited audience of friends, family and some of the many people who have played a part in Nick’s story so far enjoyed the premiere of Nick’s open, honest and at times very poignant, raw and moving first person documentary film.
Footage and photos accompanied memories and people, places and times gone by in the 90 minute documentary which drew on the audience’s emotions from laughter at the many memories and anecdotes to complete silence during revelations of the darker episodes of Nick’s more recent past.
This extraordinary film was followed by an informal and insightful Q and A session where Nick pulled no punches at answering audience questions in his own unique style which rounded off a fabulous evening in the company of one of the rock world’s most talented and respected rock art photographers; the inimitable Nick Elliott.
The only unanswered questions I had following the night are ‘When’s the next one?’ ‘And can we come along again please?’

……..The Story So Far
A completely spellbinding evening unravelling Nick’s life story. I felt enormously privileged to be there and see it unravel. Nick’s talents are second to none, and seeing his life laid bare, ( especially the Dark Side ) left me feeling enormously emotional.
Nick’s Artwork will be renowned forever.. as the man himself will be!
Lots of laughter and a few tears… I wait in anticipation for Part Two… I know there’s lots more to come!

WHAT THE PRESS SAY ABOUT “The Story So Far”
Posted on April 26, 2024
Nick Elliott: Grounded
2 February 2024
Nick Elliott is one of the well known rock art photographers in music history. We always hear about the artist and their creativity, but we never know the team behind the curtains. One of them in particular is this chap. In this feature documentary directed and shot by Andy Blithe tells a dark tale about mental illness and how Nick comes to terms with these sinister thoughts, despite that life has punched him in the stomach a number of times. He still gets up and makes something creative and meaningful only to him. I like documentaries like this cause it felt raw and genuine all the way. Very well made film.
A review by Tony Burran.

24 HOURS IN DEVON…
Posted on October 5, 2023
Well, Devon! It’s a bloody long way from Norfolk…
After receiving a call a few weeks earlier from my American agent, Lee Williams, about a new project with a dear colleague of his and mine. Alan West is a guy that I first met in Nashville in 2010. And he was putting together this new show that will be touring from the spring next year here in the UK.
I was asked to shoot some promo shots for the show on the day they were filming and promo VT that will accompany the promo shots leading up to the tour and beyond. It turns out that a theatre had been hired in a sleepy place in Devon called Honiton.
It turns out that it was a 9 am call time so I decided to leave Norfolk around about 12.30pm the day before after a 7 1/2 hour trip. I managed to find myself in Devon that evening.
Arriving at theatre around 8 am the next day, I found myself in the midst of what turned out to be a really exciting and enjoyable day. The show is titled ‘A Country Music Songbook’ and will be showcasing some of Alan‘s favourite and traditional Country songs representing the years that he has had in the business.
The show will be releasing dates in the spring of 2024. So make sure you keep tuning in to find out whereabouts they’re going to be and when you can see them.
A total of nearly 800 miles from Norfolk to Devon in just under 24 hours.
Ah well! It’s Rock n’ Roll!!
