Street Photography

Inspiration - the art of the every-day

My piece chosen by the legendary Martin Parr for the 2023 Martin Parr Foundation's Members Show - "Humour is Everywhere.

I shot a Southsea seafront series of street images over a couple of years - capturing many special moments in the seaside town where I grew up.

I am an artist and Street is the heart and soul where connection, belonging as well as separation, joy and sadness are discovered, demonstrating and documenting the human connection we all share - often with a sideways and bizarre twist that create a magical mix conjured from the mundane.

A spark that is electric. It is life!

UKrainians by Nick Silk Street Photography

Selected! Film director Gurinder Chadha OBE, "Bend It Like Beckham" chose my Southsea street photo "UKrainians" as her juried pick for the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition 2022 at the

Mall Galleries in London. It was one of only 527 entries selected from over 7,000 entered for this prestigious prize and it was thrilling to be part of the journey from selection to exhibition and artist preview night.

Returning to Southsea I wanted to capture the decline of the high street from the days when brick and mortar stores were bustling with shoppers. An end of an era. I shot a window series including the closed department store Knight & Lee - a local iconic store for seventy years.
