Richard Nicholson
I am Melbourne based having relocated from the UK in 2020. I specialize in live music, sport and portrait.
I have been working in the industry for over ten years as a house photographer at the 02 Academy in Leeds and for a media agency who I have photographed acts like Foo fighters, Billy Eilish and U2. I have had my work published in national and international publications such as The Guardian, Rolling Stone, Vogue and Varity.
I love shooting gigs and equally happy shooting small dark venues with up and coming artists as I am at festivals and arena shows.
