In early May the shortlist for Earth Photo 2024 was announced and I’m delighted to have my video, Vanishing included. 31 photographers and 13 filmmakers from around the world have made the shortlist. The exhibition will be at the Royal Geographical Society from 18 June to 21 August and travel to six Forestry England Forests from 1 July 2024 to 23 March 2025 and to National Trust properties across the UK, plus the Sidney Nolan Trust and the Heligan Gardens. I’m really excited to see the exhibition next month.
Photofusion’s Salon/24 exhibition private view
May is Photo Month in London and in early May Photofusion opened their new space in Brixton with their members’ exhibition, Salon/24, curated by their recent Director, Kim Shaw. I have one of my small Chalk Shadow pieces in the show. The opening was full of familiar faces - a celebration of the photography community in London.
Photo London
Despite having a sprained ankle I made it to Photo London and Peckham 24 this month but kept walking around to a minimum. The enjoyment is catching up with other photographers who you may not have seen for a while, seeing work that is inspiring and resonates, and at Photo London being introduced to galleries in Europe that are supporting interesting work. The book fair in Peckham 24 was a great addition with plenty of wonderful publications.
