London Photography Workshops

Photography Workshops - With Photo-Journalist Jonathan Taylor I am very excited to draw peoples attention to the fact that Jonathan Taylor the Photojournalist I interviewed in 2006 (http://www.chapterthirteen.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=46&Itemid=46) is hosting two full day teaching workshops on Saturday the 12th 2008 and the Saturday 26th of July 2008. This is a great opportunity for anyone wishing to take their photography up a level or two. Its also a first as prior to this time Jonathan has only taught in his photography school in Asia.

Mounting and Finishing Photographs Photographer Chris Shepherd has recently written a rather good series on his blog explaining in depth how to mount and frame your photographs. My guilty secret is that as I always pay someone else to do this for me his article is all new information for me. It's very important information and well wroth digesting if you want to exhibit or sell prints. I have included links to all seven of Chris's articles and really recommend them as an in depth and usefull read.

Powers of Stop and Search (UK) Unfortunately in the current age of tabloid press and moral panic there is an enemy under every bed.

Sadly for photography the collateral damage of this culture of paranoia has been a certainty in the eyes of many of the public that any photographer in any public place is either a paedophile or a terrorist. It would seem in the eyes...
