Heidi Alexander Everything For The Beach, 2011
I was born and raised in Switzerland by American parents. In 1969 my newly single mother brought me and my four siblings to live in Scotland. My father was a motor racing photographer who gave me his Leica M4 camera when I was in my late teens, and, after completing my BA degree in Scotland, I was offered a place at David Hurn’s School of Documentary Photography in Wales. But, unable to accept the place, I remain happily self-taught and largely unprofessional. Now retired from a career in Social Work, I continue to live in Edinburgh, enjoying all opportunities to pursue digital photography, especially street, travel, portraiture and, occasionally, commercial.
The Stockport Collection adventure, which began in the first Covid lockdown prompted me to start scanning my re-discovered 35mm images from my travels during the 1970’s. I now have two new books available - see my website for more info.
