Nicki's foremost passion is documentary photography as she enjoys capturing reality and truth in her images. Nicki is interested in the relationship that exists between people and places, and enjoys exposing people’s relationship to place. She wants to tell a story with each unique image in order to communicate with the viewer. Nicki feels that her work is constantly evolving, as she grows and changes as a person, her work also changes.
Nicki is passionate about journeys placing herself in new and foreign environments. It is a challenge seeing and being aware of ones surroundings changing all the time. For her photography becomes a sensory experience she wants to convey in the image the sights the sounds the smells the feeling of the ground that she stand on.
She recently travelled to Vietnam and loved every minute of it. Though while she was there a typhoon struck the north causing devastation. She witnessed the result of the typhoon as people’s homes and businesses had been destroyed. Make shift shelters where erected and evidently the people just got on with their lives living day to day. She felt that she had an opportunity to tell a story and a chance to capture their survival tale.
No-one appeared to be helping these people, they seemed to salvage what they could and continued to carry on with their lives.
Photography is Nicki's way of preserving a moment in time as an artist. It is her way of mark-making, creating a graphic presentation of imagery that stimulates the viewer and is thought provoking.
