Someone who has always loved visual beauty and good times and is doing his best to capture them as often as he can!

My main camera between 2007 and 2009 was a Nikon D80, used mainly with a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8, though I also own a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 and the Nikkor 70-200mm VR. I used the former for general purpose shooting, the Sigma for low-light/ parties/ nighclubs etc (many of which shots are not posted on flickr - they're for Facebook!) and the Nikkor for events, street and wildlife. I love all these lenses.

In June 2009 I bought a D700 and Sigma 50mm f/1.4 for maximum low-light and DOF capability - great fun! I have added a 14-24 for fast wide-angle street, travel and event photography.

During the course of 2010 I got into shooting mainly with primes (I also have the 35/2 and 85/1.8) and using a lot of film emulation techniques in my post-production. The logical extension of that was to acquire a Nikon FM2 and I really enjoy the back-to-basics, manual-everything style of shooting.

I also have a Pentax Optio, with which many of my older images were shot, including my all-time most favourited:
I can see you!

    "Nick is


    an extremely cool guy
    who connects to the world
    from the most interesting
    European city called London.

    I got the know him from
    his really interesting and
    colorful shot which taken
    at a festival in Jaisalmer,
    Rajasthan...

    The title reads:

    "I can see you!"

    The date was July 30, 2007

    I knew then he is a great
    photographer because he got
    the eye for the good, beautiful
    and interesting.


    He is a world traveller.

    Once you start discovring his
    amazing images you will have
    a free trip to the following
    countries such as:

    ~ Zambia
    ~ Cambodia
    ~ Laos
    ~ Thailand
    ~ Nepal
    ~ Venezuela
    ~ India
    ~ Peru


    He is my fellow Nikonian
    and I count him as a friend.

    He is always genuine and real
    and I love to read his sincere
    comments.



    Wishing him all the best
    for the rest of his life
