Nigel Shafran (born 1964) is a British photographer^[1][2] and artist. His work has been exhibited at the Tate and the Victoria and Albert Museum. In the 1980s, before focusing on fine art photography, Shafran worked in fashion photography.^[3] He 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]
