Who brings the stories to life?
Hi, I’m Nick, founder and chief storyteller of Not For Profit Media.
Over 13 years ago I started Sydney’s leading photography studio, Fine Photography; I hung up my NSW Police uniform and pursued my passion of photography - to not only ‘find joy’ but to ensure I could have the flexibility to be the primary carer for my young children.
The medium of visual storytelling provides a platform to highlight often forgotten groups and minorities, amplify messages of importance and encourages action from the public. From capturing a collection of war heroes, to a humanitarian visit to East Timor, I get to snap more than a picture.
Wrapped up in a single frame is someone’s emotion, personality and their story. This is my purpose.
My time as a police officer gave me experience with the ugly side of humanity, which inspired my various charity contributions over my lifetime. For several years Fine Photography has collected donations for a number of charitable organisations including The Nappy Collective and Share the Dignity.
In early 2022, inspired to illustrate to my children how to get out of their comfort zone, I jumped out of a plane, got muddy on an adventure course and got hit by paintballs in the name of raising over $50,000 for Women’s Community Shelters.
Though, to date, my biggest career highlight has been a trip to East Timor, accompanied by my daughter Penny, to be the lead photographer for NFP initiative - Friends of Soibada — a group of Northern Beaches locals committed to supporting the local people in Soibada, in their efforts to achieve sustainable development in their region.
Telling their stories through the medium of photography was ‘food for the soul’. I learnt, I embraced the culture and ways of life and I was truly inspired. Sometimes humility, camaraderie and being a good human is the only prerequisite to making a difference.
Moving forward post-COVID pandemic, I found myself leaning into working in the NFP space, and really got to carry my passion for helping others from my policing days into my role as a photographer.
Cue the birth of Not For Profit Media! A visual communications service dedicated to not-for-profits all over the world.
When I’m not behind the lens supporting organisations being a force for good in this world, or wrangling my young adult children and our three chocolate Labradors, you’ll find me working with like-minded people and organisations - trying to make a change for the better in the world.
Yours truly,
Nick Fiennes
PS Just in case you were wondering, Fiennes is pronounced ‘Fines’.
