Nicky Hamilton
Advertising photographers
Nicky Hamilton (British, born 1982), is a photographer and former Head of Art at leading advertising agency M&C Saatchi.
His method is highly filmic, designing and building elaborate sets to create pictures of extraordinary detail and narrative. His work explores characters’ emotional states by playing with performance and symbolism in order to produce deeply evocative moods.
Nicky’s work also takes him on location, seen here in a recently completed project ‘Ice Scream’. As record-breaking temperatures hit the UK this summer, it's a stark reminder that the frequency of extreme weather in recent years has increased across the continent, with British summers set to see more and more scorching days.
Capturing the essence of a very British day at the seaside, Nicky headed to Skegness to photograph the bustling beachfront, where eager holidaymakers flock to soak up the sun.
"Looking a little closer, however, Tony’s ice cream truck has seen better days."
Nicky is represented by Process.

Michael Wharley
Celebrity & entertainment photographers
Originally from an acting background, Michael has keen eye for story and a flair for the dramatic. His poppy, energetic portraits combine stunning lighting with narrative and humour - and he's adept at directing, be it a Hollywood star for key art or a more normal person for an editorial shoot.
Recent work has taken Michael out on the moors with Emma Mackey in 'Emily' (Warner Brothers), to Arendelle for 'Frozen' (Disney) and to a very much more blushingly-real place with the ladies of BBC Sounds podcast 'Brown Girls Do it Too'.
His project 'Classic Beats on Brixton Streets' won GOLD at The AOP Awards 2022, and his campaign for Unfortunate won the Spotlight Awards Advertising Category.
He also has a stunning new portfolio from Delta Design. He'd love to meet and show you the book in person.
