Nick Lester - Viking King
My dream of photographing an actor with long red hair came true thanks to Yorkshire-born Nick Lester, who let me take his headshots and portraits.After a short chat with Nick, I knew which direction we would go during his headshot session.He also agreed to give me a small interview afterwards which I would like to share with you as it will give you a personal insight into what kind of person Nick is.
How did you get into acting?
I came out of upper school and went straight into an office job. I hated it, but it was great money for a 16 year old kid to be making. When I was 17 I was stabbed multiple times in an assault. This was a turning point and made me realise that I had to do something I enjoyed with my life. I decided to give up working behind a desk and became an actor.
