Alton 21, a fashion photographer / digital artist from Manchester, explores themes of futurism and surrealism through their photographic lens. Their approach in image-making is experimental oftentimes using techniques in a way they are not traditionally used in. Instagram: @a1t0n_ @plasmainvitro

In there recent work they have been exploring identity in the digital space with an ethereal aesthetic taking inspiration from celestial bodies. in their body of work sticking to a limited monochromatic colour palette is common, this unifying factor of sticking to colour palette stems from the idea of minimalism which can be seen in more abstract pieces they have created experimenting with form and composition.

Where would you like your work to take you?

id like my photography work to take me around the world that would be a dream shooting and collaborating with different people.

If you could work with anyone who would it be?

my dream collaboration would be working with arca I love their work so much and they inspire me because of their ability to evolve and showcase experimental art and technology.

Is there a piece of music, album, songwriter that you think compliments your work most?

The kind of music that compliments my style is a combination of arcas songs like @@@@@ and also kind of industrial produced sounding music I most identify with my work.

Can you list a couple other creatives/friends/people you look to for inspiration?

I look to artists like shygirl for inspiration I love her music and visuals. Another inspiration would be fka twigs her work is visionary she pairs beautiful vocals and visuals together .also arca as a reference I take inspiration a lot from her aesthetic. I love the people who can blend and blur themes and genres to create something unique.
