Dewey Nicks: Polaroids of Women

Dewey Nicks (born 1961) studied photography at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, and has been working as a professional fashion and commercial photographer since 1986. In 1995, Nicks added directing commercials to his resume. An Ameritrade spot in 1999 garnered him the US Comedy Arts Festival Award for "The World's Funniest Commercial." That same year he became a Director's Guild nominee for outstanding directorial achievement in television commercials. In 2000 Greybull Press published Kustom, Nicks' first book of photographs, inspired by the very ideals and unique expression that originally attracted him to California. Nicks lives in Los Angeles.
