025 The Quality of Life Equation - ALAN MARSH talks about Being A Photographer
ALAN MARSH has had a career as a commercial photographer since the late 1970's. From a young age, Alan was entranced by the chemical techniques involved with photography which was then considered one of the science study options at his school in Dover. Having completed a degree at Medway College of Design, Alan spent some time working abroad photographing hotels and seeing parts of the world from an unusual travelling perspective, witnessing many places and countries in their early stages of development and transition.
He returned to the UK and moved to London where he began a commercial career in food photography amongst other things. The digital age and, more recently, the smart phone era have brought many changes to photography. From the commerical photography of still life subjects, including food, Alan has been experimenting in the photography of flowers, vegetables and fruits in their naturally decaying and most decayed forms. He is currently transitioning towards a new project using cyanotype paper.
Alan has exhibited in London, the UK and France and is the food photographer behind many a cookbook and magazine. Currently, he is finding his creativity through allotment gardening and composting. Tune in to hear Alan's fascinating perspectives on London, the world and life.
