Dan Holdsworth is one of the most innovative British photographers currently working with landscape. His early series concentrate on the quiet moments in everyday spaces: office buildings after work, car parks at night and deserted motorway flyovers. In more recent years he has traveled internationally, studying the areas where technology and architecture are representative of an accelerated economic world at their most removed and alien. The photographs are silent and iconic, witnesses of our world.

Mark Power has published four monographs: The Shipping Forecast, a poetic response to the esoteric language of daily maritime weather reports in 1996; Superstructure, a documentation of the construction of London’s Millennium Dome in 2000; The Treasury Project, about the restoration of a nineteenth century historical monument, in 2002: and 26 Different Endings (2007) which looks at those landscapes unlucky enough to fall just off the edge of the London A-Z (a map which could be said to define the boundaries of the British capital).

Chrystel Lebas has exhibited extensively at international level. Her photographs appear in several private and public collections including the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Her work is drawn from her interest in looking at how landscapes contain psychological significance in relation to historical events, legends, fairy tales and our childhood memories. Chrystel’s most recent series of photographs from her monograph Between Dog and Wolf, were taken in forests in Germany, Japan, France, Finland and England during the Twilight hours.

The Big Picture - The Panoramic Photograph, from the 1840s to the Twenty-first century
Pavillon Populaire, Montpellier, France: November 2008 - January 2009
The Big Picture is an exhibition that highlights striking, historically significant and innovative photographs selected from the history of the panoramic image – a term which may encompass everything from the Daguerrotype to a virtual reality 360° view.
The aim of the exhibition is to display c.250 of the most interesting photographic images made for a number of purposes in art, science, topography and society from the 1840s to the 21st century. The installation will also comprise cameras and other objects, and multi-media displays that show how panoramic images can be made and used for a wide variety of purposes. It is based on extensive research by the curator, Peter Hamilton.
Calthorpe Estates commission (seen below
during its installation) was stolen only days after it
was completed. Police said it was taken sometime
between 7th and 8th August. This is truly disappointing
as I did not actually get to see the piece completed.
We are hoping to be able to replace the artwork soon.

Upon entering the car park to mac you will notice a large scale photograph adorning the temporary hoardings. This piece of work has been commissioned by Calthorpe Estates during the development of the Edgbaston Mill project in association with mac.
The installation is due to be completed early next week.

(re)collect Jonathan Shaw Friday 20 January – Saturday 25 February 2006 Preview Thursday 19 January, 6-8pm
The latest exhibition at Leeds Met Gallery brings together previous work and two new commissions in a stunning collection by photographic artist Jonathan Shaw.
Jonathan Shaw has developed specific technological solutions to explore the themes of time and motion by building his own mechanically driven cameras. These have enabled him to escape the physical limitations of the studio and capture and create new expressions of time and motion, photographing his subjects with and in relationship to their environments.
