ABOUT NBLKRVISUALS

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Nico Bleker, I'm 26 years old, and I'm from the beautiful Ruhr area in Germany.

I've enjoyed photography since I was a child—whether it was with my mom's camera phone as a little boy or the digital camera I got for Christmas when I was ten. My focus has always been on the same subject: cars. Even if they were just miniature models.

Over the next few years, my interest in photography grew, especially through social media. Websites and social media channels like Speedhunters.com and JP Performance, and well-known photographers from the tuning and motorsport scenes like Dino Dalle Carbonare, Matthew Everingham, and Kym Illman inspired me to turn my passion into action in 2019.

From that point on, everything slowly took shape. I invested a lot of time and money into my new hobby and challenged myself to always take the best images possible and captrue moments that count. Having only taken photos at races and trackdays as a spectator before, 2022 would be the year where it all somewhat took off for me.

In 2022, I had the opportunity to work officially as an accredited photographer during the tourist drives at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. I also received accreditations for motorsport events from various internationally recognized racing series. My personal highlights and greatest achievements include working as an accredited photographer for both MotoGP and the FIA World Endurance Championship.
