NIC TUCKER

Nic Tucker has the well earned reputation within the world of photography as having what they call a “good eye”. He has the natural talent of being able to look through the viewfinder and know whether a good picture is there or not.

Over the past few years, his travels have taken him to remote and picturesque parts of the world where he has recorded the images illustrated here with the perception and sensitivity of expression which has become the hallmark of his work. Accordingly, his work has been in demand by a huge range of corporate clients such as Vogue and Harpers and Queen, the New York Times, American Express and many others. However, his photographs should not been seen as mere illustration or documentation because they have also been purchased by public institutions and museums such as the V&A, MOMA New York, Biblioteque Nationale of Paris, and the National Museums of Mexico and Bonn for their permanent collections which definitely puts his work firmly in the category of fine art.
