"PHOTOGRAPHY'S ANSWER TO A NOIR DETECTIVE”

About Chloe Nicholls

Photographer. Artist. Storyteller in stillness.

Chloe Nicholls is a Birmingham-based photographer whose lens is drawn to the quiet tensions and overlooked poetry of urban life. Her work focuses on city landscapes — especially the shifting textures of gentrification, the symbolic weight of doorways, and the fragmented narratives found in reflections.

Chloe’s deep interest in local history and forgotten stories shapes much of her photographic practice. Each image is a kind of excavation: capturing traces of what once was, what is being erased, and what lingers in the built environment. Her photos are not just visual records, but layered investigations into memory, space, and change.

Though her broader practice spans writing and visual art — often exploring organic forms and natural patterns — photography remains her primary medium. It’s where she feels most connected to place, most attuned to the unnoticed details that define a city’s soul.

Observational yet intentional, Chloe’s work invites viewers to pause, reflect, and rediscover the urban environments they move through every day.

Beyond her photographic work, Chloe is also a multidisciplinary artist working under the name ItsChloeBab — a space where personal insight meets creative expression. There, she shares a mix of fine art, fashion fits, poetry, blogging, and glimpses into her daily life as an artist. She also curates No Lactose Bab, a side blog dedicated to finding the best places to eat across the UK with a lactose allergy — blending food reviews with accessibility and lifestyle writing. Chloe collaborates closely with her partner, Callum, through TallTalesandTinyTruths — a personal joint project showcasing their co-created photography, visual art, poetry, and screenwriting. In addition, she is the founder and creative director of CherryBab, a large-scale collective and talent agency spotlighting female and femme-led creatives across the UK and beyond — encompassing artists, musicians, models, writers, DJs, and performers.
