About
Mike Cookson is a London based photographic artist. His work explores aspects of the 'man-altered’ landscape and how its many layers can be related to real and imagined memories and narratives. He has an affinity with the exploration of change, transition and the passage of time. Detached observation whilst walking within and experiencing the landscape is central to his work.
Mike has an MA in Photographic Arts from the University of Westminster together with a BA in photography awarded by the University for the Creative Arts . He is a long term member of London Independent Photography and the Contemporary Group of the Royal Photographic Society and was awarded the Associate distinction of the RPS in 2000.
