Nigel began his career as the sole photographer on a local newspaper after completing a 3-year course in photography. Two years later he joined the Cassidy and Leigh photo agency near Guildford, Surrey in Britain producing news and feature photography for national and international publications.
After 5 years he chose to freelance concentrating on sports photography. Covering mainly football he began to photograph multisport events such as triathlon and duathlon during the summer months. Finding a liking for the event and the people involved, the sport now forms a major part of his work.
