Stuart Leech is an artist based in Ramsgate, UK. His work utilises photography combined with a research-based practice to explore political and social issues often discussed but not often visualised. He studied photography at the University of Portsmouth before embarking on a career as a freelance photographer and now dedicates his time to long-term projects.
In 2022 he was selected as one of the 100 emerging photographers to watch in Europe as part of FRESH EYES run by GUP Magazine.
