Perry’s work is done exclusively on location, day or night, and usually consists of intensive investigative projects or series directed at the exploration of particular themes of technique or subject matter or both.

These projects are sometimes short term and self-contained whilst others are more in-depth and long term, indeed he has been following some of the themes since childhood.

His love of pure landscape and fascination with History and the enigmas of Time and Space have lead him to travel widely throughout the UK and the rest of Europe using his famous Mobile Studio (a Renault Trafic van which he converted in the 1980s)

Born, brought up, and educated in the industrial zone of the English West Midlands, known since the 18th Century Industrial Revolution as “The Black Country”, Perry’s exposure to its culture of heavy industry, hard work, problem-solving, engineering, and craftsmanship has profoundly influenced the development of his working practice and methods.
