Biography
The London artist Seamus Nicolson studied Painting at the Royal College of Art until 1996 but turned to photography soon after he graduated. This could be the reason for the picturesque composition of his documentations in metropolis. Nicolson's photographic work follows the compositional methods of the old masters and combines them with contemporary subjects, predominantly lonely individuals in the multicultural city. His recognition reaches beyond the borders of the conventional art world as he shot Vivienne Westwood's 2004 spring / summer advertising campaign.
