Alex Currie is a UK based contemporary photographer, born in Salford in 1971, and now based in the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. Since graduating from Brighton University with a degree in Photography in 2007 he has exhibited widely in the UK and abroad. His current practice seeks to explore and document the urban and industrial environment, photographing extensively in the UK and Europe, documenting places that are often overlooked or ignored, but often impacting heavily upon the individual subconscious. It is within this construct that he seeks to gain a greater understanding of the human psyche and how the implications of the modern world reflect upon our everyday being. Having lived between Brighton and France, he moved to the Isle of Barra in 2021 to continue a long-term project about the Western Isles started in 2012. A founding member of the Human Endeavour Collective and trustee for the Brighton Photo Fringe, he has recently exhibited at the Royal Academy and is currently exhibiting at the Royal Photographic Society in Bristol as part of the IPE 164. His work has recently been acquired by the Side Gallery in Newcastle and the Martin Parr Foundation in Bristol and he is currently on the board of governors for Taigh Chearsabhagh Arts Centre in North Uist..
