Trying out a new photobook service….

So it isn’t often that you get a chance to use a £100 voucher for many products, so when that chance came courtesy of Saal Digital to try out their photobooks, after looking into the company to make sure it was legitimate, sent in my details and soon after received a £100 voucher code from…

The Game Birds Calendar

For those of you who haven’t yet got a calendar for this year, or would fancy another one, you could do a lot worse than purchase one of the Game Birds Calendars. Created to celebrate the life of Rich Warr, who was tragically killed in a car accident in August 2011, the calendar features a…

h.Art 2012

This past Saturday I took the opportunity to view some of the h.Art 2012 entries that were on display at the Hereford Museum & Art Gallery and it was an exhibition well worth spending some time visiting. The display featured a variety of local artists and varieties of artwork, from abstract paintworks to some interesting…

Time Lapse at the Hereford Museum and Art Gallery

This past Saturday I took time to view the Time Lapse exhibition by Jason Hodges currently on display at the Hereford Museum and Art Gallery. The concept of this exhibit was to recreate how the surrounding city wall of Hereford would have looked before parts of it were demolished to the present day point where comparatively…

Photo exhibit by Joe Dzioba

Currently at Hereford Library is a display of photos by Joe Dzioba featuring some great shots of Antarctica, Peru and the Far East which formed part of a world tour he undertook. More of his photos can be found on his Flickr site here and it is well worth a few minutes of your time,…

The Bodies exhibition features handicapped individuals, dwarves, prostitutes, fetishists and the “sideshow freak” in a range…

No jelly and ice cream at this one…….

Another interesting and memorable exhibition at Fotografiska recently was The Birthday Party by Vee Speers, formed by a series of photos depicting children on their way to an imaginary birthday party. The children in question aren’t dressed casually or even for a specific solitary fancy dress theme, instead they are dressed in outfits carrying objects,…

“A Photographer’s Life”

An exhibition bringing together almost 200 photographs from 1990-2005 by one of the world’s best known portrait photographers Annie Leibovitz was also on display at the Fotografiska, and given the enormity of the content and amount of space given over to the collection it really did feel like an epic exhibition. Not only were there…

“A Child is Born”

Recently on a visit to the new Fotografiska gallery in Stockholm I was viewed the extraordinary exhibition of in-the-womb photos by Lennart Nilsson entitled A Child is Born. A huge breakthrough in medical photography, to describe the exhibition as stunning would be something of an understatement, it is a truly outstanding series of photographs covering…
