Got this invite for Ari Marcopoulos’ new book exhibition at Dashwood Books, “The Chance is Higher”, consisting of 40 black-and-white images printed entirely on a Xerox machine.
I guess that’s what one did before iPhoto!

Heather Morton’s blog has a great post from the other side, on triple bids, cost consultants (always a good time) and something I had blogged about from the agent’s side, namely, the lack of communication from art buyers in certain scenarios.
While my example never actually reached the bidding stage and Heather’s post deals with the […]

Fell behind on my book collecting, and a recent visit to the Aperture gallery in Chelsea (with a 10% member’s discount) helped fuel some purchases…
Forthwith, the latest additions to the ‘library’…
A classic that should be in every decent photography book collection…Stephen Shore’s Uncommon Places.

Face of Fashion…featuring the works of Mert & Marcus, Corinne Day, Paolo […]

Ok, so I am still not re-ordering the list for 2008, and I understand that lists are lists, but looking at the list again from 2005 (3 posts below) I really wanted to point out a few striking things.
- Steven Meisel at #89. The man IS fashion photography. He is our […]

I guess Jacko and I got sent the same email.  Not sure if we’re virally marketing someone else’s pet project for them, but it is well done.
The New Enthusiasm.

So, following up my post on APE’s “Pay To Play” post…here are two striking examples of fashion editorial work that has lead directly to advertising work.  (Never mind the caliber of the photographers for a moment…)

Inez & Vinoodh “Before & After” series for V Magazine.

Inez & Vinoodh, Lane Crawford SS/08 Campaign.

Inez & Vinoodh for W […]

So APE wrote a brilliant post on “Pay to Play”, that all those cutting edge, high profile fashion magazines out there surely can’t be that broke, and can surely dole out bigger budgets for their shoots.  And he also gave his take on photography contests and sourcebooks. 
(By the way, I love when APE writes posts […]

Was googling a few names and this article from American Photo popped up…which I remember reading back in 2005.  It’s interesting to see now, 3 years later. 
By no means am I going to try and update the list (because I don’t have, oh, 8 spare hours) but I am a little perplexed (as I was before) by the […]

Richard Renaldi just completed a 5 months worth of travelling helming the new global Microsoft campaign…8×10 portraits from all over the world. 

And we can be grateful he documented the entire journey on his blog.  Congratulations Richard!

No Found, from across the pond.

A very high profile photographer is shifting agencies and another agent leaves a prominent photo agency…

Sorry for the lack of posting…it seems like others haven’t been on top either, or have completely gone away. According to Jackanory,  joining the ranks of Alec Soth and the Bitter Photographer (minus an appearance on Jackanory), are Christian Patterson and the peerless Olivier Laude.  You shall be missed!
And people are even blogging about the […]
