Photographer

Nick Mathis is a New Hampshire photographer who got his start when he was living in Virginia using a toy film camera called a Diana. The plastic lens of a Diana camera produces a low-resolution image with significant light fall-off and blurring. While he has moved mostly over to a digital camera, he still uses the Diana esthetic as an inspiration for his work.
