so far it’a been a helluva busy year so i’ve been very quiet on the online front. but here’s something I can share,  a little interview i just did for Kaltblut Magazine

Lo-fi Photo Fun!

Lo-Fi Photo Fun!

My photographs have been included in a new book called “Lo-fi Photo Fun!” by Adam Bronkhorst and it’s all about (you guessed it!) Lo-fi photography. A selection of my images have been chosen to illustrate examples of pinhole photographs. Thanks for the accolade Adam, I’m really looking forward to receiving my copy!

You can get yours from Amazon. Here’s some blurb:

“Lo-Fi Photo Fun! is the ultimate inspirational and creative photo assignments book for analog and toy camera users. It is about shooting great photos, plus all the cool things you can do with the images you’ve taken on your toy, Polaroid or pinhole cameras. Learn how to cross process, push process, hand process, experiment with film types, bleed the image over the edge of the film, create animations with your images, play with multiple exposures using multiple lenses and a whole host of quirky, fun, off-beat, but most of all imaginative projects. Accompanied by inspirational and ingenious photos, jargon-free, practical information provides the reader with recipe-style advice on how to achieve inventive results. Organised by technique, each project begins with a gallery of images showing the effects of that particular technique and is followed by detailed instructions on how each effect is achieved. This information loaded, hip photography book is a must have for experimental photographers of all stripes.”

I thought i had better quickly post this before it was too late! After having a major stress out where my work almost didn’t arrive, I am pleased to say that one of my images is currently being shown in the FÉROCES Festival de Photographie Internationale 2011 in Lyon, France. It is a pleasure to be invited alongside so many other artists who’s work I admire. If you are able to go here is some information :

FÉROCES Festival de Photographie Internationale 2011 is an overview of selected International Photography today.

It was born of a common desire among artists, photographers and curators to showcase to a broad public most creative contemporary aspects, and its most prominent authors, present and becoming.

20 international artists photographers: americans, asians, and europeans will be presented from 14 to 31 December 2011 in Lyon.

The two main promoters of the event, Charles BONJOUR & Manuel Javier RICHY gather here the strong, sensitive, and relevant artworks whose only the web interface allows a glimpse at.

Earlier this year I mentioned that some of my work was selected as Best in Show in Plates to Pixels’ 4th Annual Juried Exhibition. Well my prize was to be published in Diffusion, a brilliant magazine dedicated to unconventional photography. So here it is, Volume III!
