A screenshot of my work featured on ‘Photography Served’ in January 2010.
The first month of this new decade certainly hasn’t disappointed in terms of eventful experiences in both my personal and work-related life. I’ve been asked to teach and mentor a further eighteen sessions of workshops, lectures and assignments with BA (Hons) Photography students at the Media Factory in Preston and I’ve also been busy at work on a new photography project for my photography residency. Earlier this week I attended the preview night of the Sony World Photography Awards 2009 exhibition at Art Work Space in London. There were over 700 guests (including VIPs, Photographers and Press) and it was simply a fantastic night that I shall never forget. The exhibition toured some of the most famous cities in the world during 2009 and it was wonderful to finally see my own work featured as part of this exciting and thought-provoking photography exhibition.
There are a series of photographs from the preview night in London on the Sony World Photography Awards website.
Earlier this month I signed up for the Béhance Network, which is one of the internet’s leading platforms for the creative professional community. The Béhance Network is invitation-only and was designed to help top creatives from around the world showcase their work broadly across industries and to build their professional networks. I heard about Béhance after talking to my friend Robert Lomas (www.lomasdesign.co.uk) on New Years Eve about all manner of creative ideas and projects. Béhance seems like a really good place to not only showcase your own work but to also see the new work of some wonderful artists. A few days after I uploaded my ‘Starlings Above’ series I received an email from Oscar Ramos Orozco from the Béhance Network saying that their editorial team had chosen to feature my work on one of their sister websites called Photography Served. Photography Served streams projects directly from the owners' portfolios in the Béhance Network, along with proper attribution and a direct link to contact information. The creators of the work update and maintain control of their projects, and can be contacted directly for hire or more information. All in all this is certainly a creative online community that I’m very pleased to be involved with. I thoroughly enjoy looking through the portfolios of other photographers on Photography Served, as it often serves as a good reminder of just how many people there are out there producing wonderful photographic work.
...Update...
I’m pleased to say that since I originally wrote this post my ’Starlings Above’ series has also been featured on the front page of the Béhance Network website. The project now has over 9,000 views and over 800 appreciations. I’m delighted that so many people from around the world have viewed and commented on the project. My Blackpool project was also featured on the front page of Photography Served on the 20th February 2010.
