Tickle Your Fancy – #20 – NSFW
Welcome back to our twentieth post in our new section ‘Tickle Your Fancy’. ‘Tickle Your Fancy’ includes a round-up of five links to articles from around the internet that have specifically interested us during the course of the week. Ones that we feel are relevant to your interest in photography and art.
Just to explain the title for this section ‘Tickle Your Fancy’ is an English idiom and essentially means that something appeals to you and perhaps stimulates your imagination in an enthusiastic way, we felt it would make a great title for this new section of the site.
We hope you enjoy this weeks’ selections…

Sean O’Hagan of The Guardian Photography section writes about his favourite photography shows of 2013. Have to agree Susan Brights exemplary group show Home Truths: Photography, Motherhood and Identity exploring images from Elina Brotherus and Tierney Gearon amongst others was amazing. I also agree that the Only In England exhibition at the Science Museum, London, in which Martin Parr acknowledged the late Tony Ray-Jones was incredible. I spoke with Martin Parr at the Private View and it was stupendous event.
Surreal World
Great article taking a closer look at surreal photography, beautiful fantasy and exotica.
Be a Woman
Fabulous series of images created by Hana Seweryn of a woman’s life photographed behind a backlit screen to create intense shadowy vignettes.
Century Old Negatives From Shackleton’s Antarctic Expedition Discovered
Incredible, it’s almost one hundred years ago that Sir Ernest Shackleton embarked on an expedition across the Antarctic, most of the images taken have been viewed already but a box of 22 unseen and unprocessed negatives taken by the group’s photographer has just been unearthed.
Astronaut Selfie
As 2013 is now known as the year of the selfie it seems only fitting that Astronaut Mike Hopkins wanted to join the fray. His image though is something else.
