Nigel Hudson has been a professional photographer for thirty-five years. He first
picked up a camera when he was a student at St Martin's School of Art in London, in
the mid ‘70s. It is a tool that he uses every day of his life and it is the conduit
through which he expresses his ideas and emotions.
As a professional photographer, his passion always revolved around the live
situation. Opportunities that present themselves in a split second...an expression
that is gone in a moment. For Nigel, it was all about the chase - being open to the
changes and the ability to respond in an instant, capturing moments that get to the
heart of the story. Over the years, he has worked with many large corporations
including Sainsbury's, British Gas, Barclays, O2, The Travel Corporation. TWA,
Orange, and The Royal Bank of Canada to name but a few.
He continues to have his work published in national and international newspapers and magazines including The Times,
the Telegraph, the Express, the Observer, GQ, Esquire, Daily Mail, Dazed & Confused, The Face, Country Life, Coast and
Geographical magazine. He lives in Devon, England with his wife, four children and
his dachshunds, Jessie, Rosie and Ted.
