The way you visualise an image and tell your story is truly unique.

An introduction

My name is Nick Hurst and l’m a freelance photographer based in the beautiful county of Suffolk, England. For over a decade I’ve combined my passion for photography together with an enduring love of nature and the great outdoors. It could be your local park, garden or street, but regardless of where you live it’s no coincidence a connection with the natural world; just listening and looking at what’s around you can reveal a profound and intimate sense of wonder. It’s a feeling to which I aspire and strive to convey in my photographic work.

All the images shared on this site are taken from my wildlife encounters. Many are captured close to home in the Suffolk countryside., but further afield encompass the Outer Hebrides together with some of my favourite locations that call me back as the years pass by.

My camera allows me to capture the stories I want to tell and it has been a privilege to see my work commended in the British Wildlife Photography Awards (BWPA), Bird Photographer Of The Year (BPOTY) and UK Wildlife Trusts. I have also written a variety of wildlife photography articles published across a range of media here in the UK and abroad.

If you would like to discuss a project, tuition or just simply want to share some ideas, please reach out through my contact page. I look forward to hearing from you and in the meantime I hope you enjoy exploring the galleries from my site.

 Questions and answers

  • Fine Art Prints are available for purchase on this site. All my prints are produced from a range of ‘Permajet’ and 'Hahnemuhle' archival papers. As I only use Canon LUCIA pigment based inks, each print is produced to a gallery standard that exhibits a wide tonal range, incredible detail and light fast stability. Every print is colour corrected to perfectly match the type of paper chosen for each image. This process ensures the detail and aesthetic feel of the original work is faithfully reproduced to the most precise standards. If you’re unable to find the image you’re looking for, or would rather reach out to discuss alternate sizes, finishes and laminates; please feel free to get in touch through the contact page. 

  • Whether you’ve just purchased your first camera, or a more experienced photographer looking to take your images to the next level, I can help. I provide photographic tuition to suit all abilities at locations I know well within the Suffolk and Norfolk area. Our time will be very much focussed around your needs, taking into account the prevailing weather, light and seasonal conditions. Prices are based on a half day of personal tuition at £150, (4-5 hours), but of course extending this is always an option. A range of topics will be covered which include the creative approach, fieldcraft and broader photographic technique.

    Dates for group workshops will be announced as we move into 2026 once confirmed.

  • If you are looking to maximise your outreach I undertake commissioned work which would include providing bespoke imagery covering your event, publication, charitable trust or business. If you would like to enhance the presence of your organisation through strong visual story telling; or perhaps have a concept that you would like to discuss, do feel free to reach out and get in touch.

“You’re not Alone - Together we can make a difference”

Ten percent of proceeds from print sales, commissions, and workshops are donated to support the work of the ME Association, a UK-based charity which helps fund biomedical research, and provides essential support to patients.

M.E (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) also referred to as ME/CFS, is a debilitating, complex multi system disease affecting an estimated 400,000 adults and children in the UK.

The reality of ME is heartbreaking. It is not simply "chronic fatigue" but a severe neuro-immune disease that affects multiple systems in the body, including the brain, immune system, and metabolism. Sensitivity to light, sound and touch, severe joint pain, muscle weakness and crippling exhaustion from which it is difficult to recover, are but a few of ME’s debilitating symptoms.

For some, the condition is so severe that they become permanently bed-bound, unable to care for themselves, tolerate visitors, or even be exposed to sunlight. Families are left to watch helplessly as their loved ones disappear into an existence of suffering and medical neglect.

ME is a life altering condition, yet despite this, it remains widely misunderstood. Too often dismissed or reduced to simple fatigue, those affected often find themselves without a voice or adequate support, and consequently the path to diagnosis is frequently slow.

Currently there is no cure or treatment. For many, the burden is not only physical, but also the weight of not being seen or believed.

The impact reaches far beyond the individual. Families and carers adapt quietly, reshaping their own lives around the needs of someone they cannot always help in the way they would wish.

Progress has been hindered by a longstanding lack of funding in the UK. The work of the ME Association is therefore vital in bringing together clinicians, and patient groups to advocate for change, improve care, and raise financial support for biomedical research.

My decision to contribute is rooted in a simple belief that for those overlooked, you will be heard, you have a voice, and a cure for this debilitating disease will be found. Fundraising, awareness and understanding is crucial to achieving this goal.

“Every voice, every donation and every act of kindness counts” 

Thanks for your support, it means so much to so many.
