Nedzhatin Dzheman, also known as Nikolai, is a London visual artist specialising in graphic design and photography.
Born and raised in Dobruja, Bulgaria's most beautiful region, Nikolai is from Turkish – Crimean Tatar ethnic.
His love for visual arts began after he moved to London. While looking to replace his spearfishing hobby, he started with photography, which became his biggest passion and opened the door for his interest in art.
At the top of his Journalism high school education, he studies Visual arts - Graphic design at David Game College London. He is about to graduate with a bachelor's degree (Hons) in Visual communications. Nikolai often finds inspiration in the beauty of nature, old movie masters such as Andrei Tarkovsky and Alfred Hitchcock, the music of Bach, and the stories of strangers. Still, he is mainly inspired by the uniqueness of the present moment and fascinated to be a witness and capture a moment which never will be the same. He believes that: "A photograph is shaped more by the person behind the camera than by what's in front of it,".
