Nigel Shafran

Nigel Shafran (born 1964) is a British photographer and artist. His work has been exhibited at the Tate and the Victoria and Albert Museum. In the 1980s, before focusing on fine art photography, Shafran worked in fashion photography. He described his work as "a build-up of images, often in sequences. There is a connection between them all. Basically, I'm a one-trick pony: it's all life and death and that's it."
