Alyse Johnston
I am a photographer from Salford, England whose practice focuses on editorial and socially engaged projects, working on narrative driven photo series and community arts.
I also have an interest in exploring social issues and identity in both my photographic practice and research, with a particular focus on disability and illness as seen in personal projects "I See This In Girls Your Age" and "Accessible".
