Nicky Willcock
BIOGRAPHY An approach to image making Nicky is fascinated by the idea of documenting absolute reality, but approaching diametrically from a position of interpretation and imagination. Projecting a narrative, presence, latent idea, or emotion through strong, deliberate composition and use of light. A film set, charged with potential, though as yet without characters. Beyond, yet in partnership with this methodology, is an inherent fascination with the ordinary, even ugly and mundane, to create surprising and beautiful images. Background Nicky graduated in Fine Art 13 years ago and subsequently gained a background in Brand and Communications management from places like Ogilvy, bmi and Orange. Increasingly frustrated by the time available to devote to her photography, and finally driven by the untimely death of her mother, Nicky now works full time as a freelance photographer and artist.
