Return to Art Buying

After an absence of some years I am returning to art buying. I am available to work on projects from home or come into the office, which ever suits.

I am still available to work on picture searching projects.

Toy Camera App

Here's a great tool for turning your images into polaroid style photographs. You can muck about with the colours, contrast and grain. Go to www.pentacom.jp and download the application, it's really quick and easy.

David Gillanders

I recently met David Gillanders, not only a lovely guy but an amazing photographer. He is represented by Reportage (http://www.reportagebygettyimages.com/david-gillanders/) and has done some gritty projects including images of the street kids in the Ukraine.

He has also rediscovered the fine art of wet plate photography and travels round his native Scotland taking breathtaking portraits and landscapes of those he meets and places that capture his imagination. To see more go to his website: http://davidjgillanders.wordpress.com/.

Inside Out

'JR is a French street artist with global ambitions. JR travels around the world with his 28mm wide-angle lens trying to capture the unguarded, funny, soulful, and above all, REAL faces of our fellow human beings. He blows up these images and pastes them on urban surfaces for all to see and consider. Images of Parisian thugs are pasted up in bourgeois neighborhoods; photos of Israelis and Palestinians are posted together on both sides of the walls that separate them. In his own words, he wants to "create projects so huge with the community that they are forced to ask themselves questions".'

Shifting Perspectives 2011

In 2003, a group of local photographers who all had children with Down's syndrome got together and created a small exhibition for Down's Syndrome Awareness Week. In 2005 the Shifting Perspectives collective in conjunction with the Down's Syndrome Association exhibited at the gallery@OXO, on London's South Bank for the first time. The exhibition was a huge success and marked the beginning of a successful series of exhibitions.

Shifting Perspective is now in its seventh year and with each year the exhibition gets bigger and better as it is now shown internationally. This continued growth has been made possible by the very generous support of GlaxoSmithKline.

This years exhibition at the Oxo Tower runs from the 16th to 27th March and includes the work of photographers, Richard Bailey, Fiona Yaron-Field, Emer Gillespie, Kayte Brimacombe, Paul Tom and Fiona Bailey

Please come and have a look, you will be inspired by the images on show.
