Posted on April 9, 2024
Well, after nearly 3 and a bit months working on the feature film ‘Buying Time’, it’s now done!
I was commissioned towards the end of last year to shoot all the behind-the-scenes still images for the film which is due for release sometime mid summer this year. There’s some great news to follow.
The images from the project has turned out to be such a strong collection that after various meetings with a production company ATurn Films, we’ve all decided to produce a fine art coffee table book that will be published through elliottstudios publishing to co inside with the film when it goes on general release in the summer.

Very much to my surprise it turned out I ended up having quite a big part in it, which I didn’t know at the time when we started the project back in November/December 2023.
Here,s just few of the images shot over the last 3/4 months.
So should I receive a telephone call from the Broccoli family, with the possibility of becoming the next James Bond, as I know they are looking I think you’ll find that the stories on here may actually have a bit of a different theme.
lol!!!!
Could be a career move!!
It’s Rock n’ Roll…

A MESSAGE FROM THE ITALIAN OFFICE…
Posted on April 8, 2024
We asked Raffaella how she met Nick and how she became part of his world.
Here’s the answer!
“ I met Nick casually on Twitter in 2015, I didn’t know who he was or what he did in life. Initially it was complicated to communicate, let’s say we both didn’t trust each other.
Slowly and with the passage of time we have broken down the barriers and today I can say that Nick is the friend that each of us would like in our lives, he is faithful, sincere, sensitive and always there.
But it’s not just this!!!
Guys!!! Nick has a gift that few have, he knows how to capture moments of life that only his gaze can capture and he does it through his art, photography!
His shots are not banal images, if they are observed with extreme attention they all have a peculiarities.
When he asked me to become his PA In Italy, I felt honoured and proud, but also terrified.
I said to myself ‘ Guys he works with names that I would never dream of knowing in my entire life!’
I didn’t really know where to start but his words to me were ‘ Raffy , you watch at my work with sensitivity and with a gaze full of attention to even the smallest details and I wouldn’t want anyone else to represent me in your country! You know exactly what I’m doing and what I want to continue doing, the experience will come, but you already have the passion for my art!’
I can say with certainty guys, that I have never regretted, not even just for a second , having accepted!
Nick’s work decorates my home and are the most precious thing I can own, every day looking at them and I discover different details. They are not just photographs, they are intense journeys into other people’s emotions.
So I would like to say to each of you.. ‘ look at the work of this Artist with wide-open and clean eyes, you will discover that you feel emotions that maybe you had forgotten.’
To Nick I want to say this…
‘ I could never have met a more beautiful person inside and out in the world… Thank you for making me part of your team , your world and your life.’”
Your Italian PA
WE STARTED EARLY…
Posted on March 20, 2024
Well!
We had initially decided to start filming the new shows of the new series in early Spring, but this last weekend saw us being able to get the crew back together to shoot the first program of 2Go Mad In Norfolk.
We were invited along to the very first event of its kind, the Hunstanton Gin and Food Festival taking place on Sunday, March 17th. What a great place to start. The weather was totally against us, heavy rain, very grey and chilly at times but we think we managed to get a really exciting and informative show totally recorded.
A lot more to come very soon with a lot more silliness, some great laughs and we meet some lovely people along the way.
Keep watching!!
Check out a few of the shots from the day.
Looking forward to a lot more to come. We’re gonna move the line this time.

BACK ON A FILM SET AGAIN!
Posted on November 16, 2023
This last week saw the start of shooting for a brand new feature film from the studios of ATurn Films. Owner and Director Andy Blithe has invited Nick to produce the promo and advertising artwork for his latest production titled “Buying Time”
Shooting started the second week of November on location in Norwich at various parts of the city with the crew hooking up with Nick where they shot five scenes from early on in the movie.
The film is expected to take most of 2024 to shoot and produce most of the film will concentrated on various locations both in and out of Norwich, with a big cast coming from various parts of the UK to feature.
Andy has also asked Nick to be a part of the cast playing a cameo roll later in the movie to be film sometime in the spring of 2024.
“I came up with the concept of the story about 3 years ago. It explores several themes including the future of health and some linked conspiracy theories. ‘ Daniel Avery has lost his wife and child recently. As a result of some random dreams and some linked chance sightings, he investigates his suspicions. But little did he know how high and wide the corruptness goes, all for the usual money and greed and the power of those in higher places’ This feature film is my first one and it is my most ambitious project to date. However as people who know me, I will get it done and it promises to be a wonderful piece of work that is already starting to gain some interest. We are looking for backers to help with the film and would love to speak to anyone interested in getting involved”

Should be an exciting 2024 I think!

Photographer postpones planned retirement after 50 years with paper
by David Sharman Published 13 Sep 2023
A photographer has postponed his planned retirement after celebrating half a century working for a regional newspaper.
David Lowndes has stated his intention to “stay on” at the Peterborough Telegraph, where he began his career as a photographic assistant and trainee photographer in September 1973.
David, pictured, revealed last year that he originally planned to retire in September 2023.
He has served as the paper’s sole photographer, on a freelance basis, since 2014.
Speaking to HTFP, he said: “I am staying on at the newspaper, maybe – if they will have me – for a couple of more years while I am fit enough.
“I started at the Peterborough Evening Telegraph in September 1973 as a photographic assistant/trainee photographer. There were seven photogs using medium format cameras and hand-processed black and white negs and prints.
“We obviously served through the best time in the industry – the seventies and eighties before new technology and mobile phones with cameras appeared.
“Years later the newspaper went ‘morning edition’ and then weekly and by 2014 the photographic department was disbanded, leaving me as the sole photographer for the paper.
“It has been a privilege to document half a century of history in Peterborough, I have enjoyed it immensely and met many people – which is why it is so difficult to hang up my camera.
“A project coming up, with the help of Rock Art photographer Nick Elliott, is to produce a pictorial book to celebrate my 50 years.
“It should be completed by the end of the year which will be followed by several exhibitions, talks and book signings to highlight Nick’s images of me and my work.”

A VERY PRODUCTIVE SUMMER..
Posted on September 13, 2023
The Summer of 23!
Weather wise it’s not been the best in the UK recently, but for me it’s been extremely productive. I’ve spent most of the summer in between working on other projects and commissions, producing a collection of fine art images that I hope to be touring next year in 2024.
This is a collection that’s been hanging around in my consciousness and imagination for sometime.I’ve never actually started to make a reality..
The series of Gallery and touring events planned for a six month period next year will feature totally new work and another side to my creativity.
A visual trip into the real side of Nick Elliott.
Let’s melt some faces!!

ROCKUMENTARY BOOK PROJECT GOES MASSIVE!!!
Posted on September 13, 2023
Who would’ve thought it!
A conversation that took place a few months ago over our regular meet up for an Indian meal in Peterborough now turned out to be a massive 12 month long project. The project will celebrate the 50th year of my dear friend, David Lowndes’ service as press photographer for the Peterborough Telegraph…
The project came about when Dave let me know that September this year he would be celebrating his 50th year working for the paper as a press photographer.
Dave and my friendship goes back that far. We work together on the Peterborough Evening Telegraph when it was the evening paper way back in the 70s, and Dave actually replaced me when I left in 1976 to pursue my present career.
I really didn’t have to give it much thought on what I’d like to do as a personal gift to Dave for his time, our friendship and his service to the world of newspapers.
We spoke briefly and decided that we would produce a fine art coffee table book documenting his 50th year on the paper and also to take the lid off the man’s personal life what a lot of people actually don’t know about
Since then the project has got a massive response we now have an agreement from Waterstones bookshop that will be carrying the book for sale this Christmas, along with a Tour Exhibition that will be visiting four venues throughout the next 12 months starting on March the 29th at the Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery, who will be hosting a Q&A along with book signing, meet and greet, plus exhibition show casing 22 images from the final publication.
We are so pleased to also welcome an exclusive sponsorship deal that will be involved in the whole project over the full 12 months.
They’ll be lots more news on the actual plans for the project as we move nearer to Christmas 2023.
I am so so excited about this project we are still in the process of shooting the images for the book but that’s expected to be done by around about late October.
It’s been totally wonderful to spend some quality time with a very dear friend and a respected colleague and we’ve had a lot of laughs on the way.
Good times indeed!!!
