CLIVE BOOTH SHOOTING LANDSCAPES (click on thumb nails)

Clive has been out shooting landscapes of the rural, hilly area around his home in Ashbourne, Derbyshire.

It amazes me how great photographers manage to produce images of any subject and yet retain their thumb print on the style.

These images are so obviously by Clive. Fashion, beauty, reportage, still-life or landscape, it easy to see one man has taken them all. That is what it is all about.

Please call me if you wish to see anymore and I will send them across.

DON McCULLIN DOCUMENTARY RECEIVES BAFTA NOMINATIONS

A film documenting Don McCullin’s Career, directed by Jacqui Morris, has just been nominated for two BAFTA awards.

One for best Documentary and one for Outstanding Debut Director.

The film is the only documented work showing Don’s career with extensive interviews of Don himself. It is a legacy for his work which has been a long time coming, and certainly deserves these two nominations.

It is showing at The Curzon Cinema in London.

DON McCULLIN’S GOES TO ALEPPO, SYRIA

In December of 2012, Don McCullin, after a 15 year break, once again returned to war.

The situation in Syria had been playing on his mind for some time and teaming up with Anthony Loyd, a long serving and well respected war correspondent, he went across the Turkish border to shoot a story for the Times Magazine.

The fact that he, the greatest living photographer of war zones and trouble spots, should decide to once again go to war, is a sign of how deeply entrenched has been his desire to show the “safe” world what is happening in places far away, where death, cruelty and destruction are a part of every day life.

A life far removed from our own.
