Ivor Prickett was born in 1983 and raised in the Republic of Ireland before leaving to study documentary photography in the United Kingdom. In 2009 he moved to the Middle East where he documented the Arab Spring uprisings in Egypt and Libya, working simultaneously on editorial assignments and personal long-term projects. Prickett continues to be based in the region and has spent the past eight years photographing the effects of the tumultuous Arab uprisings there. His work is held in the National Portrait Gallery in London and Museum Folkwang in Essen.
