Nathan Miles - NJM fliicks

Nathan Miles, known under his street photography pseudonym NJM Fliicks, has always had a love for photography, but it was in the early 2020s that his passion truly came alive. What began as a creative outlet quickly grew into working with commercial clients, helping them build a stronger online presence and increase revenue through powerful visual content.

Street photography, however, remains at the heart of his creativity. It opened up a whole new world for Nathan, allowing him to find his voice online—most notably through YouTube, where he shares his journey and inspires others to explore film and the streets.

Inspired by everyday life, the quirks of the street, and the rawness of film, Nathan also draws influence from poetry, painting, and books. His work is part of an ongoing journey of self-discovery, learning, and pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling.
