NOLAN SMOCK (b. 1984) earned an Associate’s in Fine Art Photography at a commercial truck driving school in Smithfield, NC, then drove to Minneapolis, MN to be Al*c S*th’s first intern in the summer of 2007. Shortly after returning to North Carolina and pursuing a BFA for a couple months, he dropped out and put the camera away to focus on music, working at record stores and playing in bands instead. In 2017, Nolan started photographing again as a part of therapy and has since reincorporated it into a large part of a visual artistic practice that mixes fine art, documentary, and pop art to look at the world with humor, curiosity, and criticism. He currently lives in Raleigh, NC.
