Tina K Photography on facebook
In her album 'photoshoots' she manages to really capture
the spirit and personality of her sitters. I like the heavily
saturated colours, the stylised look and in particular the
crazy wide angles.

ELIZABETH JOHNSON (OXFORD, UK)
From fashion magazine shoots to gritty newspaper jobs, Elizabeth Johnson has found her own brand of dark and moody photography
Text by David Hellqvist | Published 20 April 2010
Elizabeth Johnson might enjoy shooting fashion, but it will never be in that glossy and commercial kind of way we're all so used to. There's an distinct eerie quality to Johnson's work, with serious, realistic and sometimes moody feelings to it. That can be explained by her earlier affiliation with newspaper photography for the likes of The Independent, Sunday Times and the BBC, all through a degree in Editorial Photography from Brighton University. Having also had work experience at more fashion focused publications, such as Vice, Amelia and Disappear Here, Johnson, 24, have found herself a unique style of photography, one that she is now busy pursuing in a freelance career. But there are other projects on the horizon as well: "Yes, I'm also working on a farm assisting with projects in animal welfare standards and will be returning to University to qualify as a veterinary surgeon. Which I am aware is not quite a normal career combination!"

Shops Upfront is Culture Liverpool's new initiative that enables artists to access empty shops on the high street and the city centre for short term exhibitions, workshops and art events.
My Comment: This is something that could also be done in Mold and Wrexham. Keep this and contact the councils in the future after I have finished my degree.

"Artist Alison Jones has developed a reputation for powerfully interactive artwork, using natural materials to challenge our perception of the world.
Jones, whose work has exhibited alongside Damien Hirst, Anish Kapoor and Cathy de Moncheaux, specialises in large, multisensory installations like Hum, an entire room painted with honey.
‘Not only did it look interesting, I was also aware of the smell. When you first put it up it’s quite sweet and there’s an overload of sickly comfort food but as it stays up it goes off and starts to smell like urine. One person said it reminds him of getting old, so it’s what people bring to it.’ "

this is a wrexham based photographer michelle williams whose group i joined on facebook.
i am hoping to meet up with her to ask about her photography, business, clients, etc. she seems to do paid work on weddings, so i will ask about some work experience as a back up photographer at the weddings she covers.
i have made contact with a number of photographers now with a view to partnering up on some shoots. martin parr does this regularly. it encourages you to go if you have arranged it with someone especially if it is outside on a rainy cold day, it is also safer and it is mutually inspiring. Often the other sees what you have missed and vice versa.
this is some of the work she has produced

errol morris: mr death
Fred A. Leuchter, Jr., an engineer from Malden, Mass. decided to become the Florence Nightengale of Death Row — a humanitarian whose mission was to design and repair, electric chairs, lethal injection systems, gallows and gas chambers, . In 1988, Ernst Zundel, publisher of "Did Six Million Really Die?" and "The Hitler We Loved and Why" commissioned Leuchter to conduct a forensic investigation into the use of poison gas in WWII Nazi concentration camps. Leuchter traveled to Auschwitz and illegally took brick and mortar samples for analysis in order to "prove" that the Holocaust never happened.
Leuchter fully expected his involvement with Ernst Zundel to be the crowning achievement of his career, but instead it ruined him. Reopening the doors to this century's keystone atrocity. Morris bypasses a more obvious discourse on bigotry to examine instead the origins of evil in vanity and self-deception.

Stuck on the Glue Society
Here are some award-winning designs from the Sydney multimedia shop that specializes in creating content that is not traditional advertising
By Helen Walters
The Glue Society was founded in Australia in 1998 by former ad agency creatives Jonathan Kneebone and Gary Freedman. Reluctant to step aside from the day-to-day business of coming up with ideas, they formed the company to focus on writing, design, and direction. The company now has offices in Sydney and New York, while their portfolio of work determinedly stretches across media to incorporate graphic design, sculpture, installations, and broadcast television alongside more traditional print and TV advertising.
Exemplified by Sydney/New York-based creative collective, the Glue Society, these companies reject both the title "agency"—and the very idea of having retained clients. They're creative-content providers, pure and simple.
Ready and able to be employed by anyone who will have them (brands, agencies, even individuals) they work solely on a project-by-project basis. There's no long-term account management, no planning, no media buying. And yet as an entity, they're able to deliver more than the individual creative types (such as photographers or directors, for instance) historically commissioned by more traditional advertising.
Put simply, the Glue Society and its ilk are teams of ad-savvy, cross-media thinkers. As such, they're free to go wherever the budgets are, and can work on a wide range of projects. In the past year alone, the Glue Society has worked on projects that have included sculpture, graphic design, Web sites and viral campaigns, traditional TV advertising, print, short films, and even— in conjunction with BBH—a 60-minute TV show which was entirely sponsored by Axe and which was broadcast on MTV (see BusinessWeek.com, 4/24/06, "Bet You Can't TiVo Past This").

not inspired by baby photography but might be necessary to pay the mortgage. this style is better.
not keen on the web site. the 'falling' pictures too distracting. better stuff on flickr.
