ABOUT
Garrod Kirkwood (b. 1979) is an artist, filmmaker and visual storyteller from the UK.
Starting from humble beginnings in the late 90s, a fixation with collecting i-D and The Face magazines ignited an obsession with youth culture, fashion and photo documentary. After studying commercial photography from 2000-2003, a keen interest in storytelling formed and naturally, he began to turn his eye to advertising as well as editorial.
Since setting off on his own in 2006, Garrod has worked around the globe for world-renowned brands picking up a heap of awards including 3rd place in the prestigious Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize in 2019.
Today, he still considers himself a purist and puts the same creative energy into his commissions as he does his ongoing personal projects. With a cinematic eye for colour, composition and light, Garrod continues to develop as an artist, pushing the boundaries of what he believes is the best job in the world.
