Alex Rowbotham is a British photographer and designer presently based in Italy. His collection of images so far has been compiled from the previous 20 years. The images appearing here were taken in Australia, England, Italy and North America, but represent only a taste of the various places in which he has traveled with camera and tripod.

After leaving Northwich College of Art and spending a year working for an industrial photography studio. Alex moved away from his home county of Cheshire to study Photography Film & Television at Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design. Where he specialized in audio visual design.

Alex has provided images for many corporate events and art festivals as well as visitor centres and publications for organizations such as The National Trust.

His energy and creativity has gained him international recognition by achieving industry awards including 'AMI' in America and 'Images' in London. His multimedia design comes more from a photographic angle rather than pure graphic design and it was this that led him to his love of the projected image.

At the Tate St Ives he led "Painting with Light", a nine day projections workshop which culminated in an exterior installation on the 31st October 1998 which coincided with the Tate's 'birthday' celebrations. It was a collaboration between the Tate Gallery, St Ives School and Humphry Davy School in Penzance.

Alex was selected by City of Florence for participation in Firenze Biennale 2003 and 2005.

He prefers to work with medium format cameras but is usually restricted by the necessity to lighten his load when heading to areas that are often in accessible to vehicles. It is also worth noting that it is when he is 'camping out' he is at his most comfortable, and prefers the solitude of open spaces away from 'modern living'. Therefore people are usually absent in the resulting images.

The images here, along with many more, are also available for use under license, for use in print, publications and presentations.
