Hello and welcome to Anita Nicholson Photography, thank you for stopping by. Here's a little bit more about me and my photography, kindly written by Living North magazine.
With the great outdoors as her studio, Northumberland-based photographer Anita Nicholson has no lack of inspiration for her haunting landscapes and seascapes.
The North East, the Lake District and beyond have been the inspiration for Anita ever since she moved to the North East, where her father's family are from, in 2007. When she arrived in the region, she immediately fell in love with the expansive sandy beaches and wide open countryside of Northumberland.
Taking up photography in 2010 opened her eyes even more widely to the beauty of the region, from the abundant wild flowers along the valleys, to the intricate patterns and subtle colour of the rocks along the coast at places like Collywell Bay and Spittal Beach, to the star-filled skies overhead.
As well as taking photographs for her personal enjoyment and commercial clients, Anita's work has helped to raise funds for the North Shields Fishermen's Heritage Project, a memorial for fishermen who lost their lives at sea from the port of North Shields, and many other North East community charities and projects over the years.

TESTIMONIALS
"Northumberland Libraries first worked with Anita in 2022 when she agreed to run some photography workshops for a project celebrating the 1900th anniversary of Hadrian’s Wall. Anita was a pleasure to work with. She thoroughly researched the topic and shared her knowledge in an enthusiastic and friendly way. In 2024, an opportunity arose again to engage Anita’s services. Northumberland Libraries were celebrating their centenary and were keen for a professional photographer to take photos in the libraries at various celebratory events. Anita was once again so professional and friendly in her approach, accommodating any changes as the project evolved. The result was some wonderful, high-quality photographs that are a valuable asset for the service to have. Hopefully there will be more opportunities to work with Anita in the future." Kate St Clair Gibson, Northumberland Libraries

"We have been so lucky and honoured to have Anita here to photograph our shepherd huts and the landscape around. Her work is fantastic, and her photography has made a huge difference to how we present our glamping units on our website and on our social media posts. You can tell how much Anita loves Northumberland and Hadrian’s Wall area from her beautiful photography and she brought that love to our campsite also. We are so impressed with the quality of Anita’s work, and she has been a joy to work with. Thank you, Anita."

"We appointed Anita to undertake photography in Scotland on behalf of a property development company just outside Stirling. She met our brief in every detail. Under pressure of time, and in just one weekend, Anita captured more high quality images than we could ever have hoped for. The result is a photographically led brochure and website which our client, larberthouseestate.com is delighted with." Stefan Lepkowski, Director, Karol Marketing, www.karolmarketing.com
