Nicole Wells

Nicole Wells' primary interest in photography is as a form of fine art. She loves using it as a visual medium to express what she cannot say in words: a cathartic process to be able to express her thoughts, feelings and impressions of the world and the people in it. Photography has also become a way for her to create something lasting, a legacy that will hopefully still be here for future generations to enjoy.

She was a contestant in the ABC's Photo Finish, where she was chosen to photograph an Australian celebrity, actor Vince Colosimo at Sun Studios, in Sydney.

She has also placed in the Sydney Royal Easter Arts show, 2nd in 2012 and a Highly Commended in 2011. Nicole was invited to have her work to be exhibited in Add On in 2012 and 2013, as part of the Australian Head On photography festival.

Head On selected Nicole to be a finalist in their competition, which has led to her being involved in a group exhibition of finalists in Sydney, New Zealand, China & New York. Her image was featured in the New York Times, in an article about Photoville.
Nicole was declared winner of the Photography & Digital Media section in the Gosford Art Prize & was selected as a semi-finalist for the Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize.

2015 was a very quiet year for Nicole due to family health issues. However she was a finalist in the Portrait section of Capture Magazine's 'Australia's Top Emerging Photographers'. Capture Magazine also featured her in their Talent section. Nicole entered the bi-annual Fremantle International Portrait Prize and was selected as a finalist.
