Exhibitions
Nils recently exhibited in a group show 'Onto the Streets' at the Photofusion Gallery, in London, curated by Sophie Howarth from the Tate Modern, and Stephen McLaren. The show is now on a world tour and is presently in Athens (October 2006).

It showcases "the work of an emerging generation of British photographers, notable for their fresh, candid depictions of public life in London. Keenly aware of the history of street photography, these photographers insist on the continued relevance of still photography to capture the unique flux of people, matter and imagery that combine at street level."

The images show pictures from the private view evening, all by Nils.
