Photographer
Bryan Alexander studied photography for three years at the London College of Printing where he met his wife Cherry. His interest in the Arctic began in his final year of studying, when he researched a project on the technical problems of photography at sub-zero temperatures. In 1970 he was awarded a travel scholarship by the Royal Society of Arts which enabled him to travel to North Greenland and spend four months photographing the life of the Inuit there. The Photographs he took during this trip won him the Royal Society of Arts’ ‘Jacobs Memorial Award’ in 1972.
Since then he has worked in the Arctic almost every year, travelling extensively in order to document the changing life of the North’s native peoples and environment. He has carried out assignments for many of the world’s leading magazine and book publishers including Time-Life, People, GEO, Le Figaro, Smithsonian, Vogue, The Observer, Sunday Times and International Wildlife. His photographs, articles and books have been published in over forty different countries. Brian runs a photo library specialising in the Polar Regions.
