David Ryle


The photographic work of David Ryle caught my attention today.
It should be said that although Audi cars appeal to me greatly (admittedly, I am more of a motorbike enthusiast), this had nothing to do with why I appreciate Mr.Ryle's work. His landscape work, for example, is rather pleasing to say the least, but of course, I chose to show the obvious. Anyway, goes without saying that it's well worth popping over to his site and exploring further.

Matthew Eades


Photographer, (and dear friend!) Matthew Eades, recently created this experimental fashion motion piece. Take a look.

Shotopop


Got a nice email from the folks at Shotopop, they have some interesting work to check out for sure. Also just so you know, they work inside a shipping container on the shore of the river Thames!

Jake Sargeant

Paris based still life photographer Grégoire Vieille dropped me a line about his latest work for Geil Magazine. Worth checking out his other projects on his portfolio site also.

Unit


Unit, a Swiss multi-disciplinary group, emailed in and begin their email with 'I LOVE YOU!'. Not something I could just ignore, and neither should you - so go take a look!

Jeff Bridges


I know we've already had a glut of photography, however having just watched Crazy Heart, I thought you may be interested to snoop through some of Jeff Bridge's photographs, most of which have been taken on a 35mm WideLux panoramic camera with a 28mm lens.The format alone is interesting, but if you're into your film, then you'll appreciate the content too.

Lacey


Well its been a long week of photographic snippets so far, and so the last photographer that I'd like to feature for now, is an ultra talented friend of mine by the name of Lacey, a fantastic stills and fashion photographer, who started life as a graphic designer no less. She studied at the respected London College of Communication (known then as London College of Printing), and went on to set up her own studio in East London.

Lacey is represented by Webber, and has worked for a number of notable fashion magazines as well as gained a very healthy collection of commercial clients, and no wonder, as she clearly applies a wonderful element of creativity to her accomplished work.
To keep up with her latest projects, take a trip over to her blog.

PS. Happy Birthday Lacey!

Eve Arnold


So far, all male photographers, so let's talk about Eve Arnold, who, incidentally, is to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s Sony World Photography Awards.

Eve Arnold was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Russian immigrant parents. She began photographing while working at a photo-finishing plant in New York City in 1946. In 1954, Arnold's fresh quality and intelligent choice of subject matter brought her to the attention of Robert Capa, the head of Magnum Photos, the prestigious international cooperative of photographers. Capa invited her to join the group, and she became its first American woman member. Her mastery of the colour processes and techniques popular in the 50s was extensive and assured, although she worked for preference in black-and-white...
