She has been celebrated for her ability to capture spontaneous, unmediated moments while creating beautiful compositions within the frame. Her photographs bear witness to love, laughter, wistfulness, beauty and all the meanings that lie hidden beneath the surface of everyday life.<br /><br />She is unique among her contemporaries because, in a digital age, she preserves the art of traditional film photography. Inspired by the magical alchemy of the darkroom, Nicole produces luminous black and white silver gelatin resin coated and fibre-based prints which suit perfectly her natural, unmediated images.<br /><br />Nicole’s work has gained significant critical attention and acclaim, both in Australia and worldwide. Her portraiture skills are highly sought after and her work has been featured in the prestigious UK Black & White Photography Magazine and she has garnered several awards.<br /><br />She also conducts photography workshops around the world. This year Nicole will conduct workshops in Australia, the US and Canada on working with natural light. She will also conduct a series of portrait sessions in Canada and in Paris – the perfect backdrop for her illuminating images.<br /><br />Born in Papua New Guinea and educated in Germany, Nicole now lives in Perth with her husband and two children.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">"Photography is a private and personal journey. It's an eclectic collection of passion, vision, self sacrifice, empathy and an undying determination.<br /><br />- Nicole Boenig McGrade"</span><br /><br />(Portrait of Nicole Boenig McGrade by photographer Dale Neill)contact@nicoleboenigmcgrade.comnoreply@blogger.com
