The main theme that runs through her work looks at issues concerning identity and belonging. This interest was doubtlessly born from Alison's experiences of constantly moving from country to country and the resulting ambivalence towards the idea of her own national identity and her feeling of not belonging to any particular country or community. Her work has been published by the BBC, Al Jazeera, The Telegraph, The Hindu Business Line and on the Foto 8 website. Alison has exhibited her photographs in Switzerland, France, England, Georgia, China and in the USA.
