NICK AT NIGHT

I’VE ALWAYS BEEN A BIT OF AN UNDERCOVER SHUTTERBUG. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, WHILE LIVING AND WORKING IN NYC, LONDON, AND LOS ANGELES, I’VE SPENT COUNTLESS NIGHTS EXPLORING THE CITY STREETS. MY EYE IS NATURALLY DRAWN TO NEON LIGHTS AND THE UNIQUE ATMOSPHERE THEY CREATE.

WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT THESE IMAGES IS HOW DIFFERENT THEY FEEL COMPARED TO THE WORK I PRODUCE FOR BRANDS AND CLIENTS. WHEN SOMETHING CATCHES MY EYE—A FLEETING MOMENT OF BEAUTY OR AN INTERESTING DETAIL—I SNAP A PHOTO AND MOVE ON. DAYS LATER, SCROLLING THROUGH MY PHONE, I’M OFTEN SURPRISED TO REDISCOVER THESE LITTLE SLICES OF THE NIGHT, EACH ONE CAPTURING A MOOD OR MOMENT JUST AS IT WAS.

THESE PHOTOS ARE UNPOLISHED, WITH MINIMAL THOUGHT OR EDITING. TO ME, THEY’RE NOT JUST PICTURES; THEY’RE A PERSONAL AND AUTHENTIC REFLECTION OF HOW I SEE THE WORLD.
