Alastair Cook

Alastair works predominantly with lens-based media as an analogue photographer concentrating on antique photographic technologies and as a filmmaker using 8mm and 16mm film, combining these with digital technology to great effect. His award winning film and photography is driven by his knowledge, skill and experience as an architect: this mercurial work is rooted in place and the intrinsic connections between people, land and the sea.

Alastair 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; he now lives and works in Edinburgh.

"A thoughtful and smart exhibition, the photographs in Analogue Decay are beguiling and breathtaking."

Colin Herd, Aesthetica Magazine, April 2011.

"Alastair Cook's films are beautiful."

Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman, August 2011.
