Last week we launched our new initiative, Contact Editions, with a striking portrait from Ben Roberts' project Higher Lands, and a special guest edition by the innovative Seba Kurtis courtesy of HOST Gallery. For just £30 you can buy one of these beautiful prints and help
support new talent. We really love the work of both of these photographers and hope that you will too!
We established Contact as a dynamic online space where lovers and collectors of photography can find and support the work they love, making good photography affordable whilst providing a funding platform for both established and emerging photographers. Our aim at with Contact is to create a community around photographic talent, to support photographers in the ongoing progress of their personal work.
Please visit the site to find out more information about these photographers and their work, watch video interviews with them talking about their practice and to enter our Spring Slideshows competition! The site also features an interview with Harry Hardie, gallery manager of HOST Gallery, talking Seba Kurtis' work, his role as a Gallery Manager and how to catch his eye.
In addition to all of this, we'll be holding an informal crit on the 25th November in the upstairs room of the 3 Kings Pub in Clerkenwell, London. With this we aim to encourage an environment of dialogue and debate, giving photographers and photography lovers the chance to get together to discuss work, show projections, argue and drink beer! Ben Roberts will also be in attendance to give personal crits. Please let us know if you'd like to attend on info@contacteditions.co.uk.
Lastly, you can see a rather nervous video interview with me (I'm not too good with a camera in my face!) talking to Jon Levy, of Foto8, about Contact here.
