Nicholas Whitman is an American photographer. He is best known for his work chronicling the decay and transformations of buildings, as well as his nature studies[3]. Whitman's 2001 Mass MoCA: From Mill to Museum documents the renovation of a sprawling[4] electronics plant into the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art,[5][6]. Similarly, Whitman's 2008 book, The Colonial Theatre: A Pittsfield Resurrection, showcases the transformation of the Miller Supply Company of Pittsfield, Massachusetts into a functional playhouse.[7][8]
A graduate of RIT's photography program, Whitman was Curator of Photography at the New Bedford Whaling Museum from 1978 to 1986.[9] In addition to his independent work, he is currently an instructor at Williams College's winter studies program.[10][11]
