Dik Nicolai (1975) is an independent Dutch photographer who creates his images on locations and in his studio a classic building near Amsterdam. Nicolai’s work consists of editorial images for magazines and advertising agencies, fashion designers and private collections. His photos are widely appreciated and have been published in a large number of magazines.
He is inspired by the work of Leibovitz, Corbijn, Avedon and Crewdson.
The decision to create his studio in a former school building, between Amsterdam and The Hague happened to be a decisive one. The atmosphere of these surroundings a couple of minutes away from the hustle and bustle of the city, gives his photography a new quality.
Often he says: “I am a Momentographer while creating my non-commissioned images and a Contactographer while producing commercial works’
