Kurt Tong
A stunning photograph from Kurt Tong's recent series Memories, Dreams; Interrupted which explores the concept of memories as he records shared moments of time spent with his daughters.
Peter Ainsworth
Last month I met with photographer Peter Ainsworth and was particularly taken by his two recent projects Concrete Island and Drowned World.
Focused on traces of human activity within the urban landscape, Peter used sections of a wall supporting a flyover in north London to create suffocating and controlled images, where physical marks made by unconscious interactions defamiliarise the landscape; each view transformed into a painterly backdrop. Then we see the same location revisited, gradually being engulfed by water.
Work from these projects will be featured in a group photography exhibition in the West End at the start of 2011. Details to follow.
Marc Montméat
From Marc Montméat's body of work Solitude Urbains that won him the SFR Jeunes Talents photography award last year.
Martina Lindqvist - A Thousand Little Suns
Living and working in London, Swedish / Finnish born Martina Lindqvist explores the ephemeral personalities of Finnish landscapes using photography. These landscapes have personality and soul and are often impossible to capture in an ordinary photograph, which is why most of the work has been created in miniature solemnly for the lens of her camera. This particular image is one of my favourites as I think that it highlights her remarkable use of light and a surreality that is prevalent in her work.
