Masters of Vision
Over the last month, the Master’s of Vision event has been displaying the work of some great landscape photographers. more
“Mistresses of Light” Exhibition
“Mistresses of Light” exhibition that opens in OXO Gallery on the 9th of September 2015 and lasts until the 13th of September celebrates the art of landscape photography created by women artists. There are twelve contributing photographers in the exhibition, and what brought us together was our passion for landscapes and photography. The “Mistresses of Light” title reflects our fascination with the unsurpassed light in the natural world and our constant effort to capture it. It has been a long journey more
Building Your Own Gallery
When we looked into moving house a few years ago, one of the criteria I had was that it had to have some outbuildings. I had all sorts of ambitious ideas about a large studio or gallery, even a teaching space where I could run processing workshops. Financial reality then set in and I set my sights a little lower, thinking in terms of a small studio-cum-gallery, but somewhere where, potentially, I could set up still life and macro scenes. Our new house more
Southbound – Photography of a Southern Landscape
A new exhibition of unique, award-winning landscape photography from the country’s south eastern corner, by Valda Bailey, David Baker, Terry Gibbins and Finn Hopson. The South Eastern counties of England are not necessarily the first places that spring to mind when considering landscape photography. They are often dismissed as being too small, too busy or just too ‘easy’. The work of each of these photographers challenges that view. Each more
Weald – David Higgs
I have known David and admired his work for a few years now though our mutual connection with the filmwasters.com forum. During that time I have followed the progress of David’s 5 year project to capture the essence of the Sussex Weald and was eagerly awaiting the culmination of this project - an exhibition of 51 superb platinum/palladium prints at the Ashdown Forest Visitors Centre. While I was hoping to more
Charlie Waite Exhibition
For one of the most well known landscape photographers in the UK, Charlie Waite has been awfully quiet about his own work for the last decade. We’ve seen him promoting both his own tour company, Light and Land, and the hugely successful Landscape Photographer of the Year (or Take a View as it’s more formally known) but we only see the occasional new image associated with other events or in his self published book “Arc and Line”. So it more
Harry Callahan Exhibition and Catalog
"I know what you're thinking: 'Did he use two sheets of film or only one?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a Deardorff 8x10, the most powerful camera in the world, and would blow your D800E clean away, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do you, punk?" - filed under "Things Harry Callahan might not have said" more
The Year of the Print Exhibition
The idea of a group exhibition where the exhibitors are selected by who has the incentive to put their hand in their pockets and the pictures selected by the same people initially struck me as a recipe for disaster. Without a curatorial control over such an exhibition the end result could have been a mashing together of holidays snaps and works of art; literal representations among ICM madness. So it was with some surprise that I entered the Mall more
The Year of the Print by Charlie Waite
Surely the investment made by the landscape photographer is only fully realised when that very special exchange between photographer and subject is made manifest in the tangible form of a print. more
Masters of Vision 2013
In 2009 Pete Bridgwood put on an exhibition at Southwell Minster which showcased the work of a Master photographer as well as a few of his colleagues work. The first Master was Charlie Waite with a supporting role by Amateur Photographer editor Damien Demolder. Alongside Pete Bridwood's work was that of Dav Thomas, Mark Gould, Chris Upton and Jonathan Horrocks. The exhibition and location were a great success and two more
Platinum in Genesis
A lot of Salgado's images rely on the impact of high density prints, and whilst credit must go to 31 Studio for producing outstanding platinum work more
Sebastião Salgado – Genesis
“Genesis is a journey to the landscapes, seascapes, animals and peoples that have so far escaped the long reach of today’s world” . April 11 – September 8 2013 The early morning media preview of Sebastião Salgado’s new exhibition. Genesis was well underway. Along with dozens of other critics and journalists, I had already enjoyed a welcoming hot coffee with pastries and was now marvelling at 200 stunning black and white prints on the gallery walls. Yet there was more
Andrew Gilbert Fine Art Gallery
Whilst on our pilgrimage to Devon last month Andrew Nadolski and I spent a wonderful evening with a bunch of photographers in an Exeter place of beer worship. One of the landscape photographers there, Andrew Gilbert, told us about the gallery that he had opened up nearby and we thought what a great idea it would be to visit and have a chat about how it was to open a gallery and a little but about his photography. more
Landmark – the Fields of Photography – Somerset House
Now you have to remember this is fine art landscape photography and just as with classical music and poetry, you might have to spend a little more time getting to know the occasional image than usual. more
