Alan John Ainsworth is an independent writer and professional photographer in the fields of architecture, design, jazz and photographic history.

After being awarded a Ph.D. by the University of Warwick I followed a successful business career in London from which I retired in 2006 to focus on photography and writing. I live and work in Edinburgh. My interests include architecture and design, travel, jazz, classical music and opera.

I have been a photographer for over 40 years. I have an extensive body of work in urban, architectural and performing arts photography, especially jazz.

My most recent architectural books include The Barbican: Architecture and Light (Oblique Publishing, 2015) and (with Alec Forshaw) New City: Contemporary Architecture in the City of London (Merrill, 2013) and Brussels Art Nouveau: Architecture and Design (Unicorn Press, 2016).

I have recently introduced a new range of practical architectural guides.  For details, please visit  https://payhip.com/alanainsworthphotography (lick on "New. Architectural Guides" in the main menu).

In the field of jazz and photography I have published a large number of scholarly articles and my book, Sight Readings: Photographers and American Jazz 1900-1960 (Intellect Books/Intellect University of Chicago, 2022) was published in 2022.
