Alfie Bowen
It’s been a busy year for the young wildlife photographer, whose unique vision is shaped by his experience of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Bullied at school due to his poor social skills and anxiety, the Suffolk-based artist turned to nature as an escape, and his monochromatic photographs have now been praised by Sir David Attenborough, Nikon and the WWF.
Alongside the release of his first-ever hardback book, Alfie Bowen’s four new fine art prints illustrate an exquisite attention to detail and a gift for capturing the emotions and movements of animals. Framed in a sustainable wood, these timeless artworks can be teamed with natural fabrics and foliage for an organic aesthetic.
“When I go to the zoo to take pictures, it’s almost like a switch is flicked and I lose all of my anxiety and feelings of not belonging.”
