UPDATE..as of some time in 2011, I am now MD at Create in Brighton working with some amazing genius photographers. Work..work is COOL:)


I have previously appeared as a waitress, reinsurance technician, client relationship manager, project manager and barmaid. Somewhere along the line I got a politics degree, became an ACII and got an MBA. I also made several noise albums, tried to run a record label and did lots of gigs.

Now, I make photographs. I have no formal training, it's just what I do..

Nikki Acott.
Born in Salisbury (UK) in 1976. Currently lives and works in Brighton & Hove (UK).

Nikki Acott's work extensively uses a wide range of subject matter ranging from studio based shoots to live music photography, as well as producing experimental imagery involving light and cyanotype printing. She has an organic methodology in creating her work, preferring to use software sparingly while using the camera as a tool to carve imagery.

Based around the experimental music scene in Brighton, Nikki Acott's images have appeared in various publications including Wire magazine, and has been involved in several renowned exhibitions curated by Greg Neate. She is also a regular contributor to Sparks, a Brighton based flash fiction night.

i like taking photos mainly
and playing poker
and cooking
and jumping off boats to look at turtles under the sea
and trying to remember how to ski properly
and throwing stones and snow for dog face to chase
and getting hugh to show me how to use makita things

if i didn't have shit eyes i would be a pilot, but i do have shit eyes so i can't do that.

i prefer eating sushi to going on tour, harry belafonte to people who walk really slowly and airline lounges to rude customers.

NB my favourite dinosaur is the ankylosaurus

"In China there was once a man who liked pictures of dragons, and his clothing and furnishings were all designed accordingly. His deep affection for dragons was brought to the attention of the dragon god, and one day a real dragon appeared before his window. It is said that he died of fright. He was probably a man who always spoke big words but acted differently when facing the real thing."
