Defend the Darkroom


Jan 5, 2024

In my head, a photo shoot is loud and bright and full of people running around. A gorgeous model stands in front of a camera with a wind machine blow their hair back - the model looks moody and the photographer is yelling at them to give them.... something.

Then there is real life... or at least real life during a Chris Nicholls shoot. 

Quiet music plays in the background - the stylists, who I thought ran around at a frantic pace trying to apease the photograher, are calmly discussing alternative poses and options with the client. The photographer (Chris) is working with his assistant to ensure that the lighting is perfect and possible selects are noted. Its anything but a crazy rock and roll scene from the movies.

Chris Nicholls is like any professional at the top of his game - he comes prepared. He loves to work with a good team. Most of all, he is a photographer but that is only one part of his persona - he is also a father, a builder, a husband and so much more.

A huge thank you to Chris for taking time to talk with me. I hope that you enjoy this conversation - I know I certainly learnt alot about the importance of being a part of a team.
