"A consummate professional with a truly gifted eye for beauty. When I worked with Nicole she captured some of the most perfect images that I've ever seen. I have never worked with anyone who helps you feel so at ease during a shoot. I would like to thank Nicole again for the amazing pictures that she took of me, and plan to work with her again in the future." - Ryan Monnier

Nicole Rork, photographer extraordinaire, has a certain disregard for danger. Say there's an old abandoned building with a sign that says "Warning: Do Not Enter" Chances are Nicole will enter with her trusty camera (and crow-bar) close at hand. What does this mean for the rest of us? Often-times a macabre look into the past, the present, and an insightful look into the future.

Born in Hong Kong and reared in Wayne, MI, Nicole finds her way into the forgotten buildings of near-by Detroit and breathes new life into them. Using her camera as a medium, she invites the rest of the world to glimpse what she dares to experience full-on through her "urban-exploration." Nicole also frequents abandoned insane asylums all around Michigan and plans to head out East to take a look at what the old institutions out there have to offer. Apart from her creative photography in the creepy-building field, Nicole is also gaining renown in the world of music promotion, web-design, and varying sorts of illustration.

Because of her persistence, hard work, and creativity, Nicole has plenty of options for her future. In the mean-time, she'd like to share a very important aspect of her life with you: her photography.  So take a look around and enjoy the unique angle from which she views life as is expressed in her art.
