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.’ "
