Still life photographer Sam Nicklin (sakegrni) is an avid collector who’s all about finding ‘things’ and turning them into something significant. “My flat is full to the brim with weird pieces that I’ve collected from all over the world,” he says, “everywhere from markets to eBay – you can find a gem anywhere.” His recent series, titled Colours, sees Sam curate this mass of “unlikely” objects into colour coordinated collections, which are then photographed individually before being stitched together to create one very satisfying artwork. He’s done orange, mint green, red, green and pink, but it’s not just about the colour – it’s about bringing out the unique characteristics and charm of each of the everyday objects. “Honestly I just love looking at objects and capturing how I see them as more than just a ‘thing’,” Sam says.
