Alastair Cook | Written In My Hand

Profile

Alastair Cook: Edinburgh; I am an artist working predominantly with lens-based media, principally as an analogue photographer concentrating on film technology and as a filmmaker combining digital video and hand-developed film-stock. My award winning film and photography is driven by my knowledge, skill and experience as an architect: this mercurial work is rooted in place and the intrinsic connections between people, land and the sea. I trained at the Glasgow School of Art then fled the country, returning after a dutiful spell in London and a more relaxed time in Amsterdam; I now live and work in Edinburgh.
