Cinematic captures of the wild dance of human emotion and the magic of connection.
Hi! I‘m Nicola, aka The Squid. I’m so glad you’re here.
I am a film producer and underwater fine art photographer. I shoot in the open ocean holding my breath.
All the captures I create are real - real people in real places with real connections in our natural environment.
No trick photography. No AI.
Exciting, right?
I create limited edition original fine art
My work is fully independent and innovative, which means no corporate stakeholders, instead a direct line to the human creative source.
High quality limited edition prints on museum grade 100% cotton Ilford fine art paper with archival ink are available. All prints are accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Authenticity.
I exhibit around Australia.
My sold-out immersive experience ‘The Spaces In Between Us’ is available for engagement.
The Spaces In Between Us (Live)
My work starts with a feeling - always purely a feeling - and honing into it brings forth the visual concept, the production, the location, subjects and their interaction with each other or their environment.
Similarly, The Spaces In Between Us emerged from a feeling, a vision to create and experience far beyond the traditional exhibition setting. Free hanging captures and lyrical prose both complement each other and take the viewer on a journey though the human condition, guided by curated playlists, food made with love, beer and ice tea brewed small batch - everyone barefoot in a collective experience of connection as the sunset spilling through windows changes the lighting in its own cyclical nature.
An empowering and emotional experience, The Spaces In Between Us inspires laugher and tears, reflection and connection. It is hosted anywhere with ceiling mounts, so please get in touch to bring the magic to you.
