About the photographer: Nicole Chin

From a very young age, Nicole has always had a strong interest in photography. It was in her later years of secondary schooling that she decided to pursue photography at a professional level after having been a photographer for her school’s magazine.

While completing her Advanced Diploma in Visual Communication, Nicole discovered that photography is not merely a stand-alone discipline, it is a broader tool related on various levels to facets of the creative and design industry.

Creative Statement

By going into the Intensive Care Unit and focusing on the children, I chose to put their sickness in the background and to remind myself that each child is precious and has a story of their own.

My images are not so much of sick children, but more of strong and beautiful children filled with hope, love and courage. I hope the portraits help the parents and children to remember to see themselves in a new light, towards a recovery and brand new life.
