Her photographs are quite sadContinue reading “HUNGARIAN HOUSE OF PHOTOGRAPHY: Katharina Roters”

THE ROBERT CAPA CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY CENTER
THE PHOTOJOURNALIST ROBERT CAPA I recognised some of Robert Capa’s iconic photographs but had never known the name of the photographer. I find his photographs very moving and like a window to that moment in time, especially paired with the context of the time and place. His photographs put faces and emotions to the wartimesContinue reading “THE ROBERT CAPA CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY CENTER”
‘THIS WAY FOR FUN!’ JAMES BROOK
In VILLAGE BOOKS gallery space [07/02/2020] I found this exhibition interesting and well-suited to the small gallery space above Village Books: it felt like a mini observation room where you could look through stills from security cameras. With the sofa and projector, it felt like a hideaway used to spy on ordinary scenes. It wasContinue reading “‘THIS WAY FOR FUN!’ JAMES BROOK”
LEEDS ART GALLERY
[07 Feb 2020] JEMIMA STEHLI ‘CHAIR’ (1997-8) What immediately drew me to this photograph was its large size; I was fascinated by the high quality of detail kept in an image blown up so large. This got me wondering if it was shot on large format film and exposed onto a huge piece of light-sensitiveContinue reading “LEEDS ART GALLERY”
HENRY MOORE INSTITUTE
[07/02/2020] EDWARD ALLINGTON: THINGS UNSAID I have never really understood sculpture, however I can appreciate it and I like to take photographs of sculptures and architecture . I really liked Allington’s cornucopias, they’re very playful and indicative of Ancient Greek myth and the bountifulness associated with Ancient Greece. Putting the sculptures directly on the floorContinue reading “HENRY MOORE INSTITUTE”
VILLAGE BOOKS
[07/02/2020] PHOTOBOOKS & MAGAZINES The PALETTE mini SERIES books are fantastic for visual and conceptual inspiration; small size but with hundreds of pages of timeless conceptual images categorised by colour style. I like the shiny reflective gold cover of PALETTE mini SERIES ‘No.3 GOLD & SILVER’ with the title etched into the cover, it reallyContinue reading “VILLAGE BOOKS”
DAN HARLAND @ CAFÉ 164
2015-2018: BA (hons) Fine Art, Leeds Arts University. I like Harland’s use of bold colours and strong lines, he has a very strong visual aesthetic, which I believe is used well when painting indoor and outdoor architectural spaces. I find a familiarity of this in my own approach to photographing architecture-centred scenes; keeping the compositionContinue reading “DAN HARLAND @ CAFÉ 164”
MANCHESTER ART GALLERY
PHOTOGRAPHY It was amazing to see Juno Calypso‘s work printed large on the gallery wall, as I’ve only ever seen it online. I love the visual aesthetic associated with Calypso’s photography, and the existential and identity orientated themes she addresses. Seeing it printed large allowed me to get up close and examine the details andContinue reading “MANCHESTER ART GALLERY”
