Nick Wapplington is a artist and photographer who currently lives in New York City.
He is most known for his series of images, 'Living Room' which documents the lives of two working class families in Nottingham over a four year period. Wapplington's photography is saturated capturing narrative and unexpected humour much like Martin Parr's photography.
His work isn't to show a dramatic social statement, instead it's more to look at the daily struggle of working class families.
These two images are my favourite taken from the Living Room series. I really love Nick Wapplington's unexpected humour and his use of clear composition within the frame. In the first image, I particularly like that the ice cream van isn't to the side of the frame in the rule of thirds, I think that sometimes using off compositioning can be really effective, especially by centring the main attraction instead.
Within my photography, Wapplington's use of composition and 'off colour' will really influence my own work. I particularly like his use of centring which I have noticed that he uses a lot within his portfolio.
