Martin Parr



Today I had a lovely day soaking up the sun in Bristol, as part of this I went along to the Martin Parr exhibition currently on show at the top floor of the M-Shed. I would like to heartily recommend that anyone who lives in Bristol or nearby makes an effort to see it before the end of November. Martin Parr is a photographer who fascinates me in his original compositions and the way that he manages to capture life. He is someone who is obviously fascinated by people, as these photos clearly illustrate.

Dean Freeman


Dean Freeman has a portfolio of work that I started to have a quick flick through and then found myself looking at every single photo. He has that think that all good photographers need I think and that is a unique perspective. I particularly like his sets of photos in the 'stories' part of his website.

Bence Mate



I went to Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery earlier and was really impressed by the work of Bence Mate. His photography of various natural subjects is absolutely stunning. The image of the ants above is the photo which won him the title of Wildlife Photographer of the year.

Sam Haskins


In clearing out my room I have recently found a book by Sam Haskins called Photo Graphics it is pretty interesting showing the world of image manipulation before photoshop. He is perhaps best known for his nudes however including those used in 'The Last of the Shadow Pupppets' recent album artwork.

Irina Werning


My very good friend Amy told me about this very clever project and since she is pretty much the only person to follow my blog (and twice at that!) I thought I would share it. Irina Werning has basically taken old childhood photos and recreated them, sounds simple but works so well!

Taryn Simon


Taryn Simon is an very interesting photographer whose most recent work forms a book on contraband material confiscated when people entered the US. The resulting images provide a picture of what and why people attempt to smuggle.

Anne Hardy


Anne Hardy's photos bridge the gap between photography and art with her painstakingly constructed rooms.

James Mollison




James Mollison is a very intriguing photographer who has looked at tribes of people going to pop concerts in his book 'Disciples'. He has recently published another book called 'Where Children Sleep' which also looks very interesting. It examines how our surroundings and upbringing shape us into the people we become.

Laura Pannack


Laura Pannack is an interesting young photographer who specialises in portraiture, particularly of young people. Her website is also clean and well thought out with short rationales for each of her projects.
