​

Previously a lecturer at Harrogate School of Art (part of the Hull College Group)

Fraser has taught at Leeds Metropolitan (Beckett) University, the University of Salford and both Trafford and Tameside Colleges in Greater Manchester.

​

Whilst completing a degree in 1991, he worked as an assistant to various London-based fashion and PR/celebrity photographers. From 1994 his main focus has been teaching within higher education.

​

He completed his MA in Fine Art in 2001 (specialising in video installation) and has continued to produce lens-based and photographic projects over the last decade. He has exhibited widely in the north of England, including Blue in Manchester and the Harris museum and Art Gallery in Preston. Six projects have recently been exhibited at The Station in Richmond. 

 

Some of these images formed part of an award winning body of work show-cased at the national Platform Open in July 2016. Examples of his work are held within the Tyne and Wear Museums archives, the V&A festival archive and he is a contributor to the BJP's Portrait of Britain national exhibition and book.

​

He is currently working towards a practice-led PhD at Leeds Beckett University Research School.

​

Work focuses on aspects of environmental psychology and combines elements of portraiture and topography. Projects explore the perception of, and response to specific environments, and the 'third space'- the result of the objective and subjective in the discussion of place/space by human geographers; and the consequences of re-appropriated landscapes and structures. The exploration of a palimpsest of history, activity and the duality which might exist, portrays elements of an 'anti pastoral pictorial' approach, in addition to enquiry into 'place identity'. Relationships with immediate and specific locations form a major part of his work. 

​

He continues to produce work for exhibition and commissions.
