Nigel Shafran (born 1964) is a photographer ^{[1] [2]} and artist. His work has been exhibited at Tate and the Victoria and Albert Museum. In the 1980s Shafran worked as a fashion photographer, ^[3] before turning to fine art photography. Talking to The Guardian journalist Sarah Philips, Shafran described his work as, "a build-up of images, often in sequences. There is a connection between them all. Basically, I'm a one-trick pony: it's all life and death and that's it." ^[4]
