ABOUT

Georgina Cook is a documentary photographer and artist whose work is rooted in community, heritage, environment and identity. Taking time to understand her subject, she works intuitively with the environment and available light.

Starting out as a newspaper photographer 20+ years ago, Georgina now works across Sussex, London and the UK specialising in editorial, event and commercial photography for creatives, brands, publications and education providers.

She has published two editions of her book Drumz Of The South, and produces and leads workshops, lectures and talks on photography and culture with organisations and colleges.

In 2021, Georgina co-founded Picnic, a photobook library and community space in St Leonards on Sea. She is also a member of the Babes in Arms art collective.

As an artist, her practice encompasses installation, performance art, textiles and video. Her recent work includes a creative documentation of motherhood, with diary entries as a foundation.
