My name is Simon Westgate, I am a London based Photographer and artist, I am a recent graduate of the University of Westminster and can be found working on any number of projects from curating, most recently Margate photo festival & Pink floyd’s The Wall Retrospective, through to writing, Undersong.

I have worked as a commercial photographer, spent time working in a second hand camera shop, been published, been noticed, been ignored, been in exhibitions, been at exhibitions, photographed in caves, on cranes, from planes, from cars, trains and once from a tank.

I am also one of the founder members of the international 51 Collective and a regular participant in the Science/art crossover project Broad Vision
