Nick Franken
Amsterdam
Nick is a photographer with a career that spans over 15 years. Since he was a kid, he experimented a lot with digital art, but only since last year, he also uses his CG skills commercially for his clients.
The fact that Nick is also a full seasoned photographer gives him the benefit of mastering the whole pipeline of creating a digital image. This means the technique, art direction and R&D lays on one person. That makes it faster and also more cost efficient.
"This year's goal is to try to get more in the entertainment industry and to gain more creative advertising assignments. A personal click with the client is a must, because next to great results, a great cooperation is very important. Life must be fun!"
