Photographer Nik Mirus is set to exhibit his collection ' People and Quiet Spaces' at the Visual Voice Gallery. Nik is a SNAP! Magazine contributor and takes amazing photos.
Very rarely do I use the camera as a means of capturing a specific event or instant in time. Rather, I prefer to use it as a tool with which to build a moment or create a feeling. I like to construct my photographs from the ground up. I enjoy choosing the subject, location and composition while designing the appropriate lighting, and then put everything together like building blocks. The result is often theatrical in its presentation. People and Quiet Spaces is a collection of work that has been in development over the past two years and represents my approach to portrait photography. I've always been drawn to the people around me, and their unique environments. In the series I present to you, the space is as much a subject of the photograph as the person is. I invite you to explore the relationship between both as well as the individuality of each - Nik.
