Many photographers draw on literary influences on which to base their images. Hannah Starkey used Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s 1832 poem The Lady of Shalott as a reference point for a body of work exhibited at Maureen Paley Gallery in 2010. In the poem, The Lady of Shalott is subject to a curse. She is only able to view the real world refectled through a mirror. Temptation ensues and she sneaks a glimpse at a knight’s shining sword, looks out of the window and dies. This is a very brief gist of the poem but the idea is that if you only view the world through shadows of reality through reflections…

5 Crucial Elements all Great Apps Share in Common
Building an app is one thing, but building a great one is another. Some people think that a great app is one that has great user experience and interface, but there are tons of other things that have to be taken into consideration. The app needs to work for you, too. If your visitors are having a blast, but are not accomplishing the task you want them too, or if it’s not resulting in more sales, then the app is ultimately failing. That’s why it would be wise to look at what other great apps are doing as inspiration for creating your own. Here are some of the most important…

Most Effective Tips to Speed up Your Computer
When you first start off as a photographer, it can be difficult to understand what kind of storage should be enough for you. And you need to think about your camera’s memory card, your computer, and your external drive. Because as you know, high-quality photographs take up quite a lot of space. And the more you grow as a photographer, the more space you will need. Wedding after wedding, event after event, and your hard-drive is completely full. And it is normal and understandable because, as a professional photographer, you need to take a lot of shots to gain the best results. Unfortunately, if you keep a lot of those…

Not all self-portraiture includes the photographer, sometimes it is possible to use other people to stand in. I mentioned Sophie Calle‘s work last week and her series ‘Take Care of Yourself 2007-2009), is an example of this. Some photographers use people in a metaphoric sense, I’m thinking of Maria Kapajevea, in ‘A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman, 2012-ongoing’) or some choose not to include anyone in the picture at all (Nigel Shafran, Washing-up 2000). All of these approaches are classified as self-absented portraiture, similar to self-portraiture but none include the photographer in a literal sense. In many ways, physically, I have started to feel that maybe I…

The chronological picture or photo essay is something that is often repeated in contemporary photography and can be very compelling. Linear picture narratives guide us from a beginning point to an end point which is in line with classical ways of forming narrative. The sequencing of the images is important in ordering the unfolding narrative; we’re guided by the photographers intentions. However, there’s an important difference between the picture essay (or story) and a piece of classical prose. A writer will give you the information they want to tell you in a precise order that you, as a reader, aren’t in control of (unless you read the back pages first).…

How Modern Technology is Making Watercolors More Accessible than Ever Before
There’s not much more in this world that can make us feel more emotion than a high-quality piece of art. It has the ability to reflect on our lives and nature, inspire us, and even bring us to tears. However, there are a number of ways that people are being withheld the beauty of watercolor paintings. For starters, watercolors need to be kept away from daylight to preserve their colors and stop them from fading. Secondly, with housing getting more cramped and the cost of art supplies rising, there are a number of factors preventing people from ever picking up a paintbrush. Today we’ll be looking into how the rise…

I think the easiest decision I’ve ever made is in answer to the question of whether I’d like a glass of champagne with my afternoon tea at the Langham Hotel, central London. Oh god, that is not a hard decision to make. I have a collection of great memories, what about that secret room in the bistro in Paris? Oh bliss. And that Bouillabaisse served by waiters who cared enough to even place my handbag on a low stool. When I look back life seemed to be a combination of simple joys with droolworthy salubrious details. I recall walking extremely slowly in the Bois de Boulogne in the 16th arrondissement…
