Hello my name is Nicholas Digital Artist, Designer and Photographer of NicoOptical.co.uk
From a very young age I developed an interest in art, photography and computers. I taught myself BBC basic computer language and my first computer was a BBC acorn at the age of fourteen and then at the age of fifteen I studied art on day release from school at Hereford technical college in the art department. The tutor was one in a million and helped me a great deal.

Throughout my life my main source of education has been the television, and the only way to learn anything was to teach myself, so in 2004 I purchased a computer and a Kodak dx6490.
The software I started with regarding my web site was Serif web plus 8. It was a bit daunting a first and I constantly made mistakes and still do - all I can say it takes a lot of time to do anything with computers but I persevere.

The main advice that I can give with web site creation is to keep things simple and to take your time. My style of photography however is rushed as I like to capture the moment and not spend wasted hours to set or to dictate the original images. I find this false because life does not stand still and wait to be photographed and as a consequence I have a lot of material while developing my own style.
This allows my passion for art namely digital photograph manipulation to the forms of abstract art of that now i am developing my videos along with my poetry i hope you enjoy what you see
and please visit my web site Thank You
for your interest and the kindest regards to you.
