What are photographs ‘doing’ in museums? Why are some photographs valued and others not? Why are some photographic practices visible and not others? What value systems and hierarchies do they reflect? Edited by Elizabeth Edwards and @ellaravilious, What Photographs Do is a co-publication from @uclpress and @vamuseum that explores how museums are defined through their photographic practices. It focuses not on formal collections of photographs as accessioned objects, but on what might be termed ‘non-collections’: the huge number of photographs that are integral to the workings of museums yet ‘invisible’, existing outside the structures of ‘the collection’. Whether you’re going to the @vamuseum to see #FragileBeauty: Photographs from the Sir #EltonJohn and #DavidFurnish Collection, or you are drawn to any other photography exhibition, this book will provide you with an extensive and unique range of accounts of what photographs ‘do’ in museums, expanding the critical discourse of both photography and museums.

It happens often that you must cut your article for space reasons. Luckily, I can fix it here and quote this beautiful message from my interview with Nicole Dawson Cullinan: "We are interconnected with nature and are part of it. The first thing I felt was how sterile even the most biodiverse and wild spots are compared to South Africa. When nature outside suffers, so does our inner ecosystem or microbiome and health. We can adopt many practices to support our local ecosystem and improve its biodiversity, which environmentalists and other experts recommend. We must focus on our local ecosystem as much as possible because the remedies for our illnesses and maladies often lie around us, such as the plants and weeds in our immediate environment." 💚

The photographs of Pablo López Luz explore the relationship between human beings and the space they inhabit. Conventionally, such ideas have been addressed through social documentary and portraiture, but these photographs lean more toward the conceptual and aesthetic. People themselves are not the main focus. But the human presence is always there, latent within the scene, just as the analogue image lies latent in the photographic emulsion. The aerial photographs of suburban Mexico City tell us much about a city in the grip of exponential population growth but with no clear plan for how to deal with it. Here the human agent is culpable and collective. While, individually, each home is no-doubt warm and hospitable inside, en masse they become the mycelia of a predatory concrete fungus inexorably smothering the undulating mountain ranges. These urban images contrast with works from two other Mexican series, while finding a curious resonance with architecture half a world away in India. You can read an interview with Pablo López Luz at Talking Pictures. https://lnkd.in/gdEevrXP *** Please note that Talking Pictures has a new URL: https://lnkd.in/gXKyHQgT *** #photography #photographer #creativity #art #artphotography #photographerinterview #photographerinterviews #pablolopezluz #mexicanphotographer #mexicanphotographers #aerialphotography #talkingpictures #photographylovers

When you're thinking about buying a photograph and asking yourself “is this a good investment?” make sure that you have an understanding of the following things: 📌 1. Where the Artist fits within the History of Photography and how they contributed to pushing the medium forward 📌 2. Where the image fits within the arc of the photographer's career and within the particular body of work 📌 3. The history & condition of the photographic object itself ➡️ Like if you learned something valuable from this post! #collecting #fineartphotography #investing

Why Can't You Use Flash In Museums And Art Galleries? #podcast #photographertips #photography #rickmcevoy #photographymasterclass #photographymastery #photographytalk In episode 192 of the Photography Explained Podcast, we discuss why using flash in museums and art galleries is not allowed. Flash can damage artwork due to the harsh, excessive light it emits, and many valuable pieces are protected by glass, making flash photography ineffective. Additionally, flashes ruin the experience for other visitors, making the ban on flash photography both necessary and appropriate. 00:00 Introduction to Flash Photography Restrictions 00:14 The Impact of Flash on Artworks 00:34 Visitor Experience and Flash Photography 00:40 Conclusion https://lnkd.in/eJyhGBkq

[ OVERARCHING THEME 2025 · ‘FREMKALDELSE / INTO THE LIGHT’ ] We are very happy to announce that 10 July we open for submissions to become solo artists for the 2025 edition of Copenhagen Photo Festival. For the 16th edition of Copenhagen Photo Festival we already have a lot of interesting and new initiatives in the pipeline, so it will for sure be a festival that sets new standards. But more about that later. For now we can unveil next year’s overarching theme, that we hope will inspire and intrigue lots of artists, photographers and collaborators- And as something entirely new we have been inspired by a Danish word for the theme: ‘Fremkaldelse / Into the Light’ The Danish word 'Fremkaldelse' is specifically connected to the photographic process. Namely, as the moment of truth, when the image comes to light – or literally is "called forth’ – on film or paper after having lain hidden in the camera's dark house. The development process fascinates because it balances skill and chemistry with chance and loss of control, so that something new and perhaps surprising appears. To ‘fremkalde’ means to cause something to step out of the darkness and into the light - both figuratively and concretely. You shed light on what is not immediately visible. A process that requires selection and opt-out. But also patience and persistence. Qualities that are challenged in an age that celebrates quick fixes, 15 second stories and new beginnings. With the 2025 theme 'Fremkaldelser / Into the Light', we want to call out what was hidden in order to create understanding and insight. It could be uncovering hidden stories or agendas in our society or personal (self) insight. This year's theme is a call to sharpen your gaze, shed light on your own and others' blind spots or practice simply seeing. We look forward to step into the light with you! The deadline for open call 2025 submissions is 8 September 2024.
