Nick Turpin

Nick Turpin (1969) is a British street photographer[1] and advertising and design photographer. Turpin was born in London and is based there and near Lyon, France.[2] He established the first international collective of street photographers,[3][4] In-Public, in 2000.[5][6][7][8] Turpin publishes through Nick Turpin Publishing, makes short films, gives workshops on street photography[9][10][11] and his work has been included in survey books and in a number of group exhibitions. Phil Coomes, writing for BBC News in 2009, considered Turpin "one of the best" street photographers.[2]

Life and work

Turpin was born and raised in London in 1969.[12] He studied an art and design foundation course at the University of Gloucestershire, specialising in photography; then a BA in photography, film and video at the University of Westminster.[12] Whilst at university he showed his second year photojournalism stories to the picture editor at The Independent and in 1990, aged 20, quit his course to be a press photographer for the newspaper.[13] He left The Independent in 1997 for a career in advertising and design photography[2][14][15] that would finance his street photography.[2]

Turpin established the first international collective of street photographers,[4] In-Public, in 2000[5][6][7][3] with the intention of bringing together like minded photographers to hold exhibitions, produce books and conduct workshops.[15][15] Colin Westerbeck, writing in Time in 2011, said Turpin was "notable for having been instrumental in a collaborative documentary project", namely In-Public.[3]

In 2010 he established Nick Turpin Publishing which published the book 10 – 10 Years of In-Public (2010).

Turpin has given talks about[16] and workshops on street photography.[9][10]

He makes short films. In-Sight (2011), was commissioned for and premièred at the Format International Photography Festival in Derby in 2011.[17]
