Nick Meek is a British photographer and filmmaker who grew up in the North of England. The short summers and slate-grey winter skies inspired him to create imagery that explores the possibilities of light and colour.
Nick loves simplicity within photography, his optimistic colour palette and spacious compositions giving the work an idyllic, almost dreamlike quality and an immediately identifiable look. In his imagery, there is always something enigmatic and timeless at play.
Nick seeks to capture a feeling, the sensation and resonance of a perfectly realised moment in time. Much of his work is set in the USA, an ideal canvas with its diverse, spectacular scenery, vast landscapes and cultural identity.

Editorial commissions include New York Times, New Yorker, Wired, Wallpaper, GQ, Esquire and has also been awarded the prestigious Carte Blanche in Le Monde.
With a background in traditional printmaking techniques, Nick always works through the process from capture to the final result. By eschewing the usual tricks of digital manipulation, he has maintained an organic approach to his work. The intention is always the same: to achieve something that has meaning and power.
