Alan Griffiths started his creative career in the early 80's playing synthesizers and any other instrument available to him, on most Sunday's he would be at speakers corner, Hyde Park, London, taping the speakers views and then later putting them to an industrial soundtrack.  By the mid and late 80's he was a freelance  photographer, photographing bands  for publicity shots and working on album covers, he also experimented with photography using cellophane and nylon. By the 90's he went into fashion and stopped taking any commercial photographs altogether. In the 10 years that followed he made clothes for Fendi, Yves Saint Laurent, Queen Beatrice, 102 Dalmatians and Harry Potter. He was forced out of the fashion industry in 2003 due to high rates and the strong sterling exchange rate. Later that year he took his first employed job with the NHS, as a Renographer . After 4 years as a Renographer, there was very little chance of promotion so in 2008 he took up Photography, again experimenting with new ideas and had his first Exhibition at The Faux gallery in July of the same year with Simon Ambrose. Surprised at the positive feedback he went on to do the Village Green Event, held by Metal Culture in September 2008. Later that year he applied to be part of the Leigh Art Trail and is now part of the Leigh Art Trail for 2009. In January of 2009 chatting to Simon Ambrose and his girlfriend Angelina Mounsey they all decided to open their own gallery, giving them the opportunity to show their work when they wanted to. In February the contract was signed and they had a shipping container in Battlesbridge soon to be called The Eostre Gallery.
