Nick Gervin (born 1981) is a documentary photographer from Portland, Maine. He has had two traumatic brain injuries in his lifetime and now suffers from Post-Concussion Syndrome on a daily basis. Being a disabled artist hasn't slowed Nick down. In fact, all of his work is a direct result from his injuries.
Nick has had his photographic works published in several local and international magazines and his debut monograph PORTLANDERS was published by Photo Editions Ltd in Nov of 2022.
As of March 20, 2023, Nick has been elected as the President at the Bakery Photographic Collective, a non-profit, photo education and finishing center located in Portland, Maine.
Nick continues to work on several long term projects such as; American Cemetery, Autographs and his State of Maine series.
