20 June 2014

It’s been a busy period for many of our members with books being published, exhibitions hosted, talks given and prestigious shoots aplenty.

Here’s a small selection of what some of you have been up to:

Sam Robinson’s latest project has caused something of a social media stir.

The hashtag #IWANTABOOKSAM is being used to promote Sam’s second Workbook – a carefully chosen selection of Sam’s recent photography. The Workbook is also a notebook designed for everyday use (and very nice it is too!).

People were invited to visit Twitter, enter the hashtag #IWANTABOOKSAM then select their favourite colour book to be sent a free copy (subject to stock).

The project is a joint venture between Sam, designers Studio Worldwide and paper manufacturers GF Smith.

Julian Calverley has just published a book, ‘#iPhoneonly’ which, as the title suggests, is a collection of iPhone images.

Julian is better known for his large scale landscape work, but has recently been also shooting on his iPhone. As Wayne Ford says the foreword: “…the photographs Julian takes with his iPhone are not simply visual notes of possible locations – they’re beautifully crafted and exquisite works in their own right.’

While other books have been published containing work shot with cameraphones, this is the first time a fine art landscape book has been made solely with an iPhone.

#iPhoneonly is available now via link

James Russell Cant will be speaking at The Photographers’ Gallery on Saturday 21st June, on his project ‘The Decisive and Other Moments’ - a series of up to year-long exposures recorded by both pinhole and conventional cameras.

It’s a free event, but booking is essential, check out this link for further details
