Biography

Alison Baskerville is a photojournalist and documentary photographer. She studied at Westminster University and has a MA in photojournalism. Her career started in the RAF where she served for 12 years seeing active service in Bosnia and Iraq. It was whilst in Iraq that she became inspired to capture her surroundings on an old Nikon film camera and gave her the motivation and desire to change career paths and become a photojournalist.

She has built her portfolio up in a number of varied ways; documentary projects with charity organisations which exposed her to the rewarding challenges faced by those dedicated volunteers who give their time to others and then to the opposite side of the spectrum. She also provides imagery for news picture desks and undertakes commercial based commissions.

In 2011 after returning from Afghanistan she hosted the exhibition ‘Make Do and Mend’ to raise money for the Royal British Legion.
