Everyone seems to be getting excited about the photography competition we're doing with Ctrl.Alt.Shift. Even clever clogs broadsheet newspapers guys like The Independent. Here we meet one of our mentors and favourite UK photographers Alex Sturrock. We love Alex's stuff so much that we made him our UK Photo Editor.

Son of renowned British photojournalist John Sturrock, Alex has dedicated his lens to chronicling the margins of British society. Alex has shot in some of the countries most deprived estates producing the majority of the images for our UK Poverty Issue. Whether photographing happy slappers, sex addicts, ASBO teens or the bereaved families of guncrime victims Alex’s images are shot through with honesty, humour and hope.

So that's that. To find out more about the Gender, Power & Poverty photography competition go here.
