Photographer Ed Alcock on Brexit, boyhood and Brits

His photography captures faces, figures and fleeting moments, and gives us the bigger picture when it comes to the social, cultural and political landscape. Franco-British photographer Ed Alcock is the winner of the Prix Niépce Gens d’Images, France’s oldest photography award, and he joins us to discuss the imagery that caught the jury’s attention. From family mysteries to the Brexit vote in 2016, Alcock takes a socio-realist approach to making photographs; the artist tells us why his documentary series are often prompted by deeply personal questions.
