Nick Ballón is a photographer and filmmaker working across portraiture, documentary and design. Based in the UK, he’s traveled the world capturing the everyday and the uncanny, sparking curiosity and challenging perspectives in the hope of deepening our understanding of the world around us, and he often uses his photographic practice to understand his Anglo-Bolivian heritage. We featured his project “Guarda Islas,” which captures the solitary existence of the men tasked with guarding Peru’s remote Chincha islands and the 50,000 seabirds they’re home to.
