About
Nick Franken
I see photography and film as something pure and raw. You have to experience a photo, you can love it, but you can also hate it. An image needs to create a feeling! Every human being is unique. Every human being is beautiful. I find this is the most beautiful part of photography and making a film. If we are talking about a portrait of something commercial, people are always the central role for me. Next to photography and CGI/post-production my focus is mainly on the story. Great art direction is fundamental to my photography.
“NORMAL” IS WHAT THE MAJORITY DOES, THAT’S WHY “DIFFERENT” IS MUCH MORE INTERESTING.
I always had a remarkable ability to empathize. With everything I hear, I can see the image in front of me. So I take this great advantage by turning the story into an image that everyone can see. “Tell me a story, and I’ll give you a photo.” I enjoy my work, not just only the technical part but especially being in contact with people. Thinking along, working with people, and creating images make me who I am. My work will reflect this.
WHAT I DO
It’s not just working; it is my way of life. I enjoy making beautiful images with and from other people. I like photography, post-production, and CGI. Music, life, sports, people, and my loved ones all inspire me. I’m an optimist, someone that always sees a solution for everything. Anything is possible.
“TAKING A JOB FOR MONEY ISN’T THAT IMPORTANT AS TAKING A JOB FOR FUN”.
Dare to be yourself, stretch your boundaries, color outside the lines, and show your passion. Creativity, logic, technique, and knowledge. Information, esthetics, identification, and challenges. What makes me….., what makes a photo, what makes your photo…
