Mobile Photography & Art – New ‘Deadpan’ Assignment for our Forthcoming Book ‘Away with Words’
Whilst I am busy completing the seventh and eighth chapter (I apologise, I am a little behind) with our selected images for our previous assignments #ladylike and #belonging, I would like to announce our brand new assignment for the next chapter in our soon to be published book entitled ‘Away with Words’. Our new assignment is ‘Deadpan’. We would like to see your interpretations of this assignment. Deadpan… essentially this genre of photography means devoid of emotion.

Mobile Photography & Art – Artist’s Insights #1 – James Ellis
James Ellis is a Merge Maestro. To say he combines photos is quite an inadequate description of his work, as you will find out as you enjoy being privy to some of his approaches and techniques. And James loves line, employs it constantly, even though his subtlety of technique does not make that obvious. Over to James… My Work Is About Conveying Emotion When I work on my art I work to convey emotion. That’s the first place I start… “How am I feeling”. I also try to tell a story to get the viewer into my headspace. I may be influenced by a song… I sometimes even get a song…

Mobile Photography – There Is A Story Behind Every Person – Portrait of An Artist
A worldview or world-view is the fundamental cognitive orientation of an individual or society encompassing the whole of the individual’s or society’s knowledge and point of view. A worldview can include natural philosophy; fundamental, existential, and normative postulates; or themes, values, emotions, and ethics. Worldviews are often taken to operate at a conscious level, directly accessible to articulation and discussion, as opposed to existing at a deeper, pre-conscious level, such as the idea of “ground” in Gestalt psychology and media analysis. However, core worldview beliefs are often deeply rooted, and so are only rarely reflected on by individuals, and are brought to the surface only in moments of crises of faith. — Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldview
