Nicole Fraser

NICOLE CLARE FRASER studied at the Michaelis School of Fine Art, the University of Cape Town. She graduated in 2012 with a BA in Fine Art. Nicole’s first introduction to the darkroom was during her 11th year at high school. It was here that her intrigue and sensitivity toward the medium developed. Since school she continued with darkroom work at University and thereafter has completed Darkroom Photography and Hand Printing Workshops with the highly regarded and Master Black and White printer, Dennis Da Silva. In 2018 Nicole had her first solo exhibition, a quiet place, at the ORMS Cape Town School of Photography where she lecturers in Darkroom and Analogue Photography.

Her personal practice explores capturing spaces and places absent of people but clearly suggestive of the human presence.
