Nick Prideaux is an Australian photographer based in Paris, France. After completing his degree in Film Production and Screenwriting, he discovered his interest for film photography after relocating to Tokyo in 2011. He has worked extensively in Melbourne, Beijing and S.E Asia as a freelance photographer focusing on intimate visual notes from his life in an ethereal series of poignant, delicate moments.
‘I capture scenes from my life in a diaristic manner. My approach is guided by my intuition, rather than preconception and the camera gives me a way of looking at the every day in a more conscious light and a way of surfacing thoughts and feelings that are otherwise difficult to access and express. Photography is a conduit for me to try and understand the world around me, whether that be clear or undefined’.
About Twenty Twenty – words by Nick Prideaux:
‘Twenty Twenty’ is a series of images taken during a period of pre and post lockdown. Taken across a calendar year, the series centers on the period of incredible suffocation and claustrophobia experienced, then the release and elation from the freedom to see the outside world again. These images represent my fascination with quiet, reflective moments – an attempt to capture a tranquility amidst the tectonic shifting periods of a strange year.
