I love art photography and enjoy the creativity of the photographic medium. In my professional work, I combine this creativity with a focussed desire to fulfill and exceed my brief, providing images that stand out and connect, whether with corporate customers, or private individuals.

I am fully self-taught as a photographer, beginning in product photography for my partners exclusive vintage fashion business. Then, over a period of 15 years, I developed first into gig photography, (covering up to 5 events a week for 2 years), estate photography, before slowly branching out into events and lifestyle photography.

When I stop taking photos for a living, I often relax taking street photos and modern architecture and have won awards for both of these genres, amongst others. My other relaxation is to go walking out in nature, when I consciously leave my camera behind so that I can immerse myself in my surroundings.

More about Nick V....

What do you love about your job?

I enjoy working with people. I enjoy taking up the endlessly unique chalenges of each shoot, of getting to know someone, so they can relax in front of the lens, or of seeking out the moments and angles that make a shot the really communicates an event or brand.

Each day is different and each shot a chance to excel and provide excellent results for my clients.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

I have done so many different shoots from product and food, through real estate and interiors to corporate events and wedding. On many occasions I have checking out unique technical aspects required by a new type of shoot I am undertaking. However, I make them special by staying in the moment and being part of what is going on. I allow people to relax by being unobstrusive and a part of the crowd at the same time.

At a shoot I was shooting some formal shots of a foreign president, visting the UK. He appeared, bored, verging on grumpy. I said 'You've done this before haven't you'. The following shots had a gentle, amused smile which showed off his warmth and personality.

Awards, honors, and recognitions received

In 2023 I was awarded Best Commercial Photographer at the Welsh Enterprise Awards.

I was category winner in the Architecture section of the Chromatic Awards in 2023 and have had my photos exhibited in galleries around Europe and the USA. I have also had images published in print media and online.

A fun fact about this photographer

I have practised yoga and meditation for over 15 years, and more recently reiki, which I find helps me stay fit and focussed
