In 1997, Nicky wrote and presented the
television documentary For the Sake of
the Children which drew public attention
to the ways in which fears of child abuse
were fuelling blanket condemnation of the
taking and possessing of images of
children despite the respected place such
images have in photographic tradition.
The issues Nicky found herself confronting in both the exhibition and the documentary world, together with the recent rise in censorship and adverse media coverage of the visual arts, has led Nicky to be an advocate of anti-censorship in the arts. Her company akehurst creative management supports photographers by acting in a management role and agent; handling copyright and legal issues, pursuing opportunities for their work to be exhibited, licensed or placed with established galleries/collections. Nicky has a well deserved reputation as a leading image broker and photographic agent with an international client base. www.akehurstcreativemanagement.com
