All Hail To The Al
Posted on May 8, 2013
Nick was commissioned recently for a shoot that was a little bit off the wall.
Although we don’t usually bring you news of everything he shoots, this one was particularly fun so we thought you’d like it.
‘The Pub Landlord’ and legendary comedian, Al Murray, is joining the fabulous Planet Rock presenting a Sunday morning show from 10-12 called Defender of the Planet Rock Tradition from May 26th.
Nick’s Snap-book
Posted on April 30, 2013
Nick has been looking at producing a ‘snap-book’ of him working for some time so we’ve put together an electronic library of snaps we’ve taken of Nick over the years.
We’ll let Nick explain thoughts behind his project:
“For some time I’ve wanted to do a snap book, just a personal thing, the modern-day equivalent of the traditional photograph album.
“I was initially looking to record some reportage stuff myself but then thought it would be a good idea to include some shots from the archive that have been taken of me.
“It’s not ‘The Nick Elliott Self-Appreciation Society’, they’re just quick grabs taken on phones, compact cameras, so nothing serious really.
“It’s just a record and a bit of fun and I’m planning to update it now and again when the mood takes me.”

Shooting The Planet (Rock)

Planet Rock’s Wyatt with Nick
For quite a few years now, Nick has been the official photographer for the fabulous Planet Rock radio and this week he was asked to engage in a very special shoot.
For reasons that will become clear next week, the subject of the shoot was top-secret but we had a wonderful time catching up with the guys at the station and meeting new friends to boot!
We’ll bring you news of what the shoot was about shortly but, in the meantime, here are a few shots from the day….

Forbidden Fruit Taste The Best
Posted on April 5, 2013
Earlier in the year we brought you news about a series of new videos entitled The Collections, which showcase a selection of Nick’s terrific images against a backdrop of original music courtesy of some specially invited artists.
The Forbidden is the second video in the series and features a stunning collection of previously unseen images to a fabulous soundtrack, Talking to the Wildman, performed by the absolutely brilliant Irish singer and multi platinum songwriter, Martin Anthony Egan.
The track was co-written with ex-Hothouse Flowers guitarist, Peter O’Toole, and appears on Martin’s wonderful album The Tune, which is available to buy at: www.martinaegan.com
The video is being aired on Nick Elliott Press Office TV, but in the meantime just sit back and enjoy The Forbidden…
