His work has been published in his own book, On The Night Bus (2016) and in various survey publications, as well as being included in a number of group exhibitions. He publishes through Nick Turpin Publishing, makes short films, and gives workshops on street photography [9] [10] [11]

Phil Coomes, writing for BBC News in 2009, considered Turpin "one of the best" street photographers. [1]

Life and work

Turpin was born and raised in London in 1969. [12] He studied an art and design foundation course at the University of Gloucestershire, specialising in photography; then a BA in photography, film and video at the University of Westminster. [12] Whilst at university he showed his second year photojournalism stories to the picture editor at The Independent and in 1990, aged 20, quit his course to be a press photographer for the newspaper. [13] He left The Independent in 1997 for a career in advertising and design photography [1] [14] [15] that would finance his street photography [1] (for example he photographed the cover of Bridget Jones's Diary (1995) by Helen Fielding). [14]

Turpin established the first international collective of street photographers, [4] In-Public, in 2000 [5] [6] [7] [3] with the intention of bringing together like minded photographers to hold exhibitions, produce books and conduct workshops. [15] Colin Westerbeck, writing in Time in 2011, said Turpin was "notable for having been instrumental in a collaborative documentary project", namely In-Public. [3] He left the collective in 2018. [16] [17]

In 2010 he established Nick Turpin Publishing which published the book 10 – 10 Years of In-Public (2010).

He makes short films. In-Sight (2011), was commissioned for and premièred at Format International Photography Festival in Derby in 2011. [18]

In August 2017, in collaboration with Hoxton Mini Press and Jason Reed, Turpin organised Street London, a street photography symposium. [19] He has also given talks about [20] and workshops on street photography. [9] [10]
