Nick Meek • Winter Scenes
Growing up in the North of England, the short summers and slate-grey winter skies inspired Nick Meek to create imagery exploring the possibilities of light and colour. Nick has subsequently carved out a photographic career that has seen him travel the world. Nick is drawn to a vibrant colour palette, spacious compositions and a real expertise with light, the antithesis of the landscape of his upbringing.
Alongside his ability to manipulate and play with colour, Nick constantly demonstrates his ability to wield light and use the conditions of the landscapes to his advantage. With experience in studying his surroundings in intimate detail, as well as expertly paying attention to the nuances in which the weather changes and adapts, Nick creates a powerful relationship between the observed natural world and the viewer. This connection is at the heart of his work and underlines his photographic identity.
The images featured here are mostly taken in the Alps, a region he has a particular affinity and connection to, which has been his home for the last 10 years. Nick’s personal photography projects have earned him awards both nationally and internationally, including from D&AD and Communication Arts. His 2022 publication, ‘Unreliable Memories’ was shown at UNSEEN Photo Festival and was selected at Photo Espana as one of the best Photo Books of 2022.
