Patrick Steel grew up surrounded by photographic equipment — his father Arthur Steel is a renowned Fleet Street photographer. From the age of seven he helped print black and white images in the darkroom. After studying photography, he joined Holborn Studios in London as a studio assistant, before going on to assist some of Britain's most respected celebrity photographers, including the late Terry O'Neill, working on portraits of Her Majesty the Queen at Buckingham Palace and Sandringham.

About the Artist

Alan's journey to screen printing started in his early teens when he first took an interest in photography and embraced the darkroom. Having graduated with a first from Salisbury College of Art, Alan was a very early adopter and innovator of digital tools and techniques. His obsession with form, function and beauty led him to screen printing, where he isolates iconic cars on his signature metallic background, focusing the viewer's eye on the sculptural, almost organic qualities of some of the most celebrated cars in automotive history.
