Nick Prideaux My name is Nick Prideaux and I am an Australian photographer and visual storyteller based in Paris, France. After completing my degree in Film Production and Screenwriting, I discovered my passion for photography. I relocated to Tokyo to pursue this and have worked extensively in Melbourne, Beijing and S.E Asia as a freelance photographer. 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 everyday 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 worldnaround me, whether that be clear or undefined. Parts of this series are from my forthcoming book ‘Present Nostalgia’ which will be published in Paris later this year. It’s a document of my personal film photography diary from 2012 to 2019 taken in Japan, Turkey, Thailand, Vietnam, and Australia.
