Nicolas Challenor Photography

About Nicolas Challenor My love for photography initially grew from my experience within filmmaking. I studied filmmaking at the University of Bolton, but what I really began to understand in the film world was how photography was the essence of the picture. Film is moving image, and the only way to understand visual storytelling is to delve into the depths of what makes a great picture. This intrigue grew early on with landscapes. Masters such as Ansel Adams, Bruce Percy, and Michael Kenna showed me the power, energy and timelessness of a photograph. As my interest in photography grew so did the different genres I wished to experience. It wasn't long before portrait photography and event photography became a strong interest to me. I strive to captivate the elegance of a person, allowing them to be seen as their best version of themselves. Capturing moments, this is the soul of it all. Witnessing other peoples joy, and being able to save that moment for them for an eternity, is extremely rewarding. Timing is integral, but being able to understand light and modifying it to create a depth and mood is an important element to what I do. Living back in Leicester I now do various types of photography, from portraits to events, and can be hired for private or commercial use. Witnessing people coming together, seeing a loved one embrace one another, and capturing that split second is what I do. My love for creating a beautiful image and telling a compelling story stems from my background and passion for film, and as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
