About
I’m Nick Small, a Sunderland-based photographer and tutor with 15+ years’ experience in education and 1:1 creative teaching. I work with clients and organisations on photography briefs ranging from ecommerce and studio portraiture to live performance and promotional events, combining a calm, professional approach with clear communication around deadlines and expectations.
In my teaching roles, I’ve led A Level Design and supported learners with a structured, detail-focused approach to creative development, including graphic and workshop skills, health and safety, and course guidance. I enjoy collaborating closely with students and colleagues—listening, observing, and adapting guidance to help people build confidence, refine their work, and deliver consistently to the required standards.
