Photography Show with Nick DePasquale September 8 -29, 2018
Nick DePasquale is a freelance photographer and photography instructor located in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts. He specializes in travel, fine art, and sports action photography. Nick is a life-long photographer having worked for a weekly newspaper, motorcycle racing magazine, and as a wedding, event and sports photographer. His work over the past 5 years incorporates the various elements of artistic and visual design (light, shadow, color, shapes, lines, texture, patterns and perspective) to create his images.
The choice of subjects in this exhibit is quite varied but the creativity, preparation, and process for each photograph is the same: utilize the creative tools on his artist’s palette to capture an interesting image that will show the world in a different way and hold the viewers’ attention just a little bit longer. Nick’s website is www.nickdepasqualephotography.com
