ABOUT ME

Born in Palmerston North, New Zealand. Nigel has lived and worked in Victoria,  Australia for the past twenty-five years. He completed a Bachelor of Fine Art (Photography) at Victorian College of the Arts (VCA at the University of Melbourne) in 1993.

MY WORK

I draw inspiration from the world around me, using street photography both in the public arena and the landscape. Drawing influence from the surrealist movement my photographs seek to challenge our way of seeing the world.  Photography for me enables me to live in the moment and the photograph gives me the chance to more fully realise see what I have seen in that moment.

My work concerns the human experience.  I focus on photography within the public domain and the tension between public and private space. My work intervenes and exposes both the ordinary and the unpredictable in our daily experience. I seek to reflect my own experiences and those of complete strangers.

TRAINING

I have experience in developing and delivering short course photography and photo-shop training and delivering coursework in the Diploma of Photo-Imaging.
