About Alec Smart

Photojournalist & Features Writer. Between 1990-2012 I served 22 years hard labour in the UK, where I broke rocks as a journalist, photographer, features editor and features writer for occasional scraps. I specialise in live music ['world', punk, folk, ska] and reportage, but will undertake publicity and weddings at gunpoint.
