Los Angeles-based photographer Nicholas Freeman is a man with his own take on artistic photography. He always puts the creative component first, and the technical part is secondary for him. Freeman believes that a true artist can create a masterpiece with any equipment and in any conditions. His photographs confirm this - they do not show high detail and play of colors. They fascinate with their naked female bodies and the combination of light and shadow. (Warning! Nudity).

Nicholas Freeman became interested in photography in early childhood. His grandfather, an aerospace engineer, played a big role in this. It was he who gave his 10-year-old grandson an 8mm movie camera, and later the first camera. Freeman's mother also influenced the development of his creative personality. She made custom wedding dresses, and her workshop was stocked with fashion magazines with great photography.
