Alistair Morrison is a prominent British photographer whose work is included in the Primary Collection of The National Portrait Gallery, London, with over 80 pieces on display. For the past 40 years he has worked alongside some of the most notable international icons and dignitaries. His portraits are collected by private and corporate clients worldwide and he has exhibited in Paris, New York, Palm Beach, Miami, Florence, Berlin, Barcelona and London.
Time to Connect is Morrison’s most significant undertaking to date - a culmination of his life’s work, creating a legacy for many generations to come. A five year journey will take him around the UK in a converted camper van, which also doubles as a mobile studio, to capture a portrait of the UK, post Brexit, post pandemic, in all its richness and diversity.
At the heart of the project is the idea of connection. Morrison aims to meet and connect with individuals, families and groups of people of all shapes, sizes, races, religions, abilities, genders, sexualities - young, old and in the middle, across all 100 counties across the UK. He is creating space for personal conversations, allowing people to connect deeply with themselves, each other and the world around them, enabling them to tell their stories of who they are. The journey is being captured, using photography, film, podcasts and other creative mediums.
