Nicolas Vassal

Nicolas VASSAL, alias NIKO, is a French photographer who started photography more than 25 years ago. His source of inspiration and his subjects have been evolving throughout the years before becoming in a kind of random way, what we call a “Street-photographer”
You can read many definitions about street-photography, the various ways to approach it, many controversies about its practice that I would simply call in one word as “Candid” photography. It is, in his point of view, the easiest and at the same time the most difficult type of Photography. The easiest because you can practice it everywhere with almost any kind of camera whoever and whatever is around you. The most difficult as it requires skills to set-up very quickly your camera, a curious eye, some courage and a lot of luck as well
NIKO has been living away from France for more than 10 years mainly in Asia (Shanghai and Tokyo) where he has been living a deep and diverse visual journey.  The crossing of Shibuya in Tokyo, where he had been shooting extensively during few years will always remain the place where his artistic journey really started
He is literally flying while hunting hours in the streets with his headset full of Rock ’n’ roll
Photography is Music, Photography has to be listened!
