Photographer Nicholas Wilson sets Zetland record

The celebrity photographer Nicholas Wilson and his wife Sally have sold their Zetland terrace.

The four-bedroom terrace was tipped to fetch more than $1.65 million through McGrath's Ben Forsyth at its weekend auction.

The $2 million pre-auction sale of 92 Portman Street was a residential sale record for the suburb when a local family purchased the home to take advantage of the Green Square amenities.

The Wilson family wanted more space for their three sons at Kensington. The couple bought the Victorian-era home on Portman Street in 2006 for $729,000.

Nick Wilson’s images have appeared in magazines, newspapers and advertising campaigns across the globe.

Born in Adelaide, South Australia, Nick developed his eye as a photographer while at school. A neighbour was an international photojournalist and brought rolls of film home to process, often with Nick at his side.

At 17 Nick won a cadetship at the Adelaide Advertiser, becoming principal sports photographer. He made the move to Sydney in 1994.
