Dewey Nicks

Backstory by Dewey Shot at Pier 59 studios in NYC. This picture was made using a mixture of natural light and a Arri 2k HMI Fresnel. I was experimenting with “hot lights” because I was spending a lot of time on motion projects and I was interested to see how the quality of movie lights would look on the still film I knew so well. Carré has experience on the sets of the greatest photographers in the world because she's so collaborative, inventive, and a pure joy to shoot.

I'm drawn to people who defy the laws of gravity. Who become obsessed with decoration, advertise their personality and make things bigger, brighter, louder, and faster than the manufacturer's specification. -- Dewey Nicks This gorgeous montage of muscle cars, boob jobs and fun fur toilet covers is an unwholesomely perfect guy gift. -- Simon DoonanHere's an American scenescape laden with fantasy and fetish, artifice and ambition… -- Paper Magazine

While searching through his archive, photographer Dewey Nicks discovered a forgotten box filled with thousands of original Polaroids from the 1990s. These relics offered an intimate portrait into Deweys' life, friends, and work. The immediacy of the Polaroids combined with the natural fading of the physical print after decades in a shoebox made each of the images singularly unique and tangibly genuine. Uncovering this lost box of memories motivated Dewey to produce this book, Polaroids of Women.
