Following on from its appearance at the FlatPack Film Festival in Birmingham this year ‘Terminal’ has just been selected as the winning film in the Zealous Digital Art 21 prize. My interview has been posted to the Zealous community and here is a link to the page on their site
I am now selling prints directly as part of the Artists Support Pledge. As part of the scheme, I have both sold some of my work and bought a couple of amazing prints by other artists. The project supports artists during these difficult times. If you would like to search for work that is being sold under the scheme. search for #artistsupportpledge in Instagram.
You can see some of the prints I am selling on my Print Sales page, I am currently selling two 20cm x 20cm prints from my Bangladesh Ship Breakers project for £105 before P&P. If you don’t mind acrylic rather than glass theses prints look great in Ikea frames. If you are interested in any of the images on the site just let me know.
I have just heard that my video ‘Passing Trade’ has been selected to be exhibited in the finalist exhibition for the 2021 Signature Art Prize later this year. This will be the second year that I have been a finalist, last year ‘Procession’ was on show. Due to the current situation, final dates and information are not yet available.

Somehow, between the 1st and 2nd national Lockdown, I managed to film and edit a new art video entitled Terminal. Extracts of the film can be seen on my Instagram account @nigelgoldsmith and the Video Art page on this site. It can be seen in its full length this summer as it has just been selected for the Flatpack Film Festival 2021 in Birmingham. To see Terminal along with other shortlisted films you can book a festival pass here
Since the start of the Pandemic, all of my training has moved online. By far the most popular subject is smartphone photography. I have delivered online training to individuals and to groups of over 300. Smartphone photography courses make great staff training activities, link well with social media training as well as being purely for pleasure. Training is tailored to suit the needs of the client but typically involves the hidden features of the smartphone camera, taking control of your smartphone camera, getting better pictures and editing on your smartphone using Snapseed. I can also deliver courses on smartphone videography.
Nigel put together an excellent three hour online presentation on the use of smartphone cameras. The content was well thought out, timed to perfection, presented seamlessly and so in demand that we ran a further 5 sessions for groups of 12 participants. He adapted it to suit all camera models and covered most of their technical capabilities aswell as looking at the editing software. His knowledge and presentation skills were appreciated by beginners as well as the more experienced photographers in our group. Gillian Tiplady, Royal Automobile Club
