about
Harry Pearce
I am a photographer, artist, writer and an educational/learning specialist with degrees spanning the arts, humanities, science and business; significantly, a Master of Studies degree in Literature and Arts from the University of Oxford and a First Class Honours degree in Creative Arts through the Open College of the Arts. I also trained with the BBC in television news production/journalism and have studied a wide range of creative courses, for example, Bookbinding with the London College of Communication.
Whilst photography forms the key visual driver for the majority of my personal work, I take an interdisciplinary approach to exploring ideas and concepts - it is the 'idea' that drives the output. Ongoing projects explore the use of mixed-media (including writing, drawing and stage-sets) in expressing these ideas and concepts based upon my interests in visual communication, cultural studies and the active engagement of art to enhance business communication and leadership.
I live in Saudi Arabia, helping business executives to bring creative approaches to their leadership and presentations; alongside the development of my personal studio practice.
