About the Author

Nick Turpin grew up in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire coming to London to study for a degree in Photography, Film and Video at The University of Westminster. At the age of twenty, Nick left his degree course to become the youngest full-time photographer on a national broadsheet newspaper in the UK, spending seven years shooting news, features and portraits for The Independent. Nick is a self proclaimed 'Street Photography Evangelist' and has spread his belief in the importance of Street Photography as a distinct approach through books, exhibitions, workshops, TV, radio and lecturing. In 2000, Nick founded the international collective In-Public which has played a significant role in the modern resurgence of Street Photography as the most practised photographic form it is today.
