Born in London in 1962, he worked in the advertising and design industries and pursued work in conventional still photography before being asked to X-ray a cola can for a television show. Veasey also X-rayed the shoes he was wearing on the day and upon showing the finished image to an art director was galvanised by the response it provoked.

He lives near Maidstone, England. His work has featured in many international advertising campaigns and adorned products and packaging worldwide, notably Adobe's Creative Suite livery and Lenor/Downy fabric conditioner.{{cite web|url=http://blog.photoshelter.com/2008/06/nick-veasey-makes-radiation-beautiful.html|archive-date= 2008-06-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080629005214/http://blog.photoshelter.com/2008/06/nick-veasey-makes-radiation-beautiful.html |title= NICK VEASEY MAKES RADIATION BEAUTIFUL|website=PhotoShelter}}
