About Craig Earl

Somewhere amongst the dense clouds of smog and the flickering flames of ICI, a young photographer can be found buzzing around the industrial capital of north east england. Dropped into the world with unanswered questions on his lips and a camera in his hand, Craig Earl is a reader/writer/artist/photographer who divides his time between taking photographs/biro sketching/writing in journals/listening to tunes/kicking up a fuss.

Having spent the most part of his childhood scribbling felt pens/playing with transformers/listening to his dads seventies rock music, he embraces change, uncertainty, and impermanence with a shrug of the shoulders, a long pause and a click of a shutter. The quest for depth, meaning and substance, however, is something he takes very seriously in his art, life and photography.

His heroes? Yul Brynner, Louis Theroux, Paul Weller, Brandt, Brassai and Bresson, to name but six.
