World Photography Organisation – NEW – Photography book blog by Cheryl Newman
As members and contributors to The World Photography Organisation we were delighted to read Cheryl Newman’s blog this month. Cherly is the Photography Director at Telegraph Magazine. You can read an interview with her, that’s actually quite old here from Professional Photographer magazine, another publication that I used to write for, incidently.
In this article Cheryl reviews Vanessa Winship’s latest book ‘She dances on Jackson’ – it’s a fabulous read and this paragraph fulfils me with imagery ‘Winship’s portrait make her subjects feel like beguiling strangers, whether they are the young girl with carrier bags in a barren vacant lot wearing a single string of beads, teenage love birds joined with tightly clasped hands or a shirtless heavily built man with a spider tattoo standing by a silvery pool. A lack of any caption details keeping us even more at arms length from their personal life stories’.
To read the article in full, head over to the WPO site here.

Joanne Carter
Joanne Carter, creator of the world’s most popular mobile photography and art website— TheAppWhisperer.com— TheAppWhisperer platform has been a pivotal cyberspace for mobile artists of all abilities to learn about, to explore, to celebrate and to share mobile artworks. Joanne’s compassion, inclusivity, and humility are hallmarks in all that she does, and is particularly evident in the platform she has built. In her words, “We all have the potential to remove ourselves from the centre of any circle and to expand a sphere of compassion outward; to include everyone interested in mobile art, ensuring every artist is within reach”, she has said. Promotion of mobile artists and the art form as a primary medium in today’s art world, has become her life’s focus. She has presented lectures bolstering mobile artists and their art from as far away as the Museum of Art in Seoul, South Korea to closer to her home in the UK at Focus on Imaging. Her experience as a jurist for mobile art competitions includes: Portugal, Canada, US, S Korea, UK and Italy. And her travels pioneering the breadth of mobile art includes key events in: Frankfurt, Naples, Amalfi Coast, Paris, Brazil, London. Pioneering the world’s first mobile art online gallery - TheAppWhispererPrintSales.com has extended her reach even further, shipping from London, UK to clients in the US, Europe and The Far East to a global group of collectors looking for exclusive art to hang in their homes and offices. The online gallery specialises in prints for discerning collectors of unique, previously unseen signed limited edition art. Her journey towards becoming The App Whisperer, includes (but is not limited to) working for a paparazzi photo agency for several years and as a deputy editor for a photo print magazine. Her own freelance photographic journalistic work is also widely acclaimed. She has been published extensively both within the UK and the US in national and international titles. These include The Times, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Popular Photography & Imaging, dpreview, NikonPro, Which? and more recently with the BBC as a Contributor, Columnist at Vogue Italia and Contributing Editor at LensCulture. Her professional photography has also been widely exhibited throughout Europe, including Italy, Portugal and the UK.
