Nichole Spates lives in Orlando, Florida. She enjoys exploring her city, a mix of urban and natural environments. Since 2021, Nichole has exclusively used her Pixel smartphone for her photography. Her images are edited with Snapseed and Lightroom. In the editing process, Nichole utilizes intentional overlaying of disparate images through digital double or multiple exposure, or techniques such as doubling and splicing of images. She is also interested in capturing accidental visual chaos. She hopes that these techniques invite the viewer to reflect on the fleeting nature of life, the colliding of natural elements, or the over-stimulated lives that we lead.
