BIOGRAPHY
Nicola Muirhead is a documentary photographer and visual storyteller from the island of Bermuda, focusing on long-form projects and portraiture.
Nicola’s practice is rooted in exploring the lived stories of individuals and communities as they exist in a time and place - often encapsulated in the layers of the past - investigating how we as people construct our own narrative from collective memory and historic events. Each body of work is undertaken with its own unique approach, incorporating a range of visual tools to convey the complexities of the human experience and the imprint of our stories on the world stage through photography. Her projects are research-led and collaborative in approach when working with people, drawing from experts and testimonials of a community to narrate their story and their truth.
With a Bachelors in International Relations and a Minor in Conflict Resolution, Nicola finished her Masters in Documentary Photography and Photojournalism at the University of Arts London in January 2017 and is mostly based between London and Bermuda. Nicola splits her time freelancing as a photographer for editorial, portrait and reportage assignments - as well as a visiting lecturer and teacher of photography. She is passionate about the discussion and analysis of photography and visual storytelling, running workshops in photography and working within Higher Education as a visiting lecturer for universities across the United Kingdom. She earned her PGcert in Higher Education from the University for the Creative Arts in 2018, with a focus on photography.
Nicola is a proud member of Women Photograph and is currently operating out of Three Act Studio in Hamilton, Bermuda.
