Welcome to INTERVIEWED, a series of discussions and chats with creators of all kinds.
Today we're blessed by the company of a man with the eye for manmade structures and a wizard of words, Nik Speller.
D: What do you do online
as a creator?
N: I’m
a writer, first and foremost. That’s why I started blogging (all those years
ago); I was looking for a ‘creative outlet’ and decided writing about food and
restaurants was the way to go, as - at the time - it was pretty much the only
thing I was interested in.
Since
then, I’ve boosted my photography skills a little, helped in no small part by
working with Mat on his blog, Buckets and Spades.
My
photography has mainly been for the blog, when Mat’s had to be in front of the
camera and needed some help in getting the perfect shot. I’ve also started a
bit of a sideline in architectural photography over on Instagram - totally by
accident, I’ll add. It was just something I started doing on a dull, boring day
off, and as folks seemed to like it, I’ve kept it on.
Writing
is still my main passion, though, and - thankfully - I’ve been able to upgrade
from writing for my own (very small) food blog to contributing to Buckets and
Spades (and a few others) on a whole range of very cool projects. Fortunately,
I’ve also been able to carry writing into my day-to-day work too: writing
articles on influencer marketing and the digital world in general, which seem
to have really resonated with people.
