Josh Nice is a London based photographer who bases his work as a film-focused photographer who’s printed and self-published a number of zines, often depicting his friends and community in black and white images. Josh creates many different photo-zines and releases them on his website for sale.
Josh shoots all his photos on film and when he shoots a body of work he prints it out in his darkroom to then turn his photos into a project such as a photo-zine, photo book or some sort of print project. Nice states that, “My work interprets the theme of ‘print’s not dead’ very strongly because I ALWAYS turn my work into print. I love the tangibility of my work and love holding it in my hands.”
Josh Nice won a prize and earned a publish in a magazine after submitting his ‘Prints not Dead’ project zine.
“I love physically holding photos or something that I’ve created, looking at your photos in a publication is way more satisfying than looking at them on a computer screen” – Josh Nice
London-based skateboarder and photographer Josh Nice first met the Bordeux-based Perdu skate crew in 2015 whilst they were in London checking out Southbank’s skate spot, a shared love of skateboarding smoothed over the language barrier cracks and an instant friendship formed.
Nice’s latest trek with the French skate crew took him to Berlin for a week. Camera in hand, the photographer documented the group as they rolled around the German capital, hitting up hidden skate spots and exploring the city’s renowned architecture. These candid, black and white images come together to form Nice’s latest zine, titled Berliner Perdu.
