Great For Imagination

This month saw the launch of a fantastic project, all shot by Ted Humble-Smith and retouched by your's truly on behalf of the UK Government called 'Great For Imagination'.

It is marking the 400th anniversary of the official grant of British patent number one, and the campaign is set to highlight some of the amazing innovations developed in Britain over the last four centuries. Covering everything from film and fashion through to energy and engineering, the campaign will celebrate some brilliant British minds along with those from around the world who have developed their ideas in the UK. 

You can follow @greatforimagination on Instagram and see the images as they are released, with a great little blurb explaining the idea behind the patent and how it has changed the course of history. There will also be links to all the people involved, from stylists to set designers, assistants to sculptors. Here's a little taster to whet your appetite....

New Website, New Office, New Beginnings.

To coincide with my move from leafy Parson's Green on the west side of the city to fast paced and fabulous Shoreditch on the East side I've revamped the website and promise to keep it up to date and full of my latest images.

 

If you are over this way, feel free to pop by for a chat, discuss up and coming projects, ideas, jobs, etc. There is a plethora (yes, plethora) of pubs, bars and cafe's within a short hop of our front door. 

 

Also in this space are photographers agent Flock, creative advice guru Emma from the Creative Advice Network, and super graphic designer  Jesse Holborn who specialises in photography books. Take a look at their websites for ways they can help you.

Today’s repost is courtesy of @assocphoto, taken over this week by the wonderful @carolineleeming ・・・ Flora Lux . @carolineleeming here taking over the AOP account for the next couple of days. . This series started with the desire to explore motion in static imagery: without using alternative media or modern editing techniques. I wanted to take it back to the original way we captured movement purely within an image, all in one shot. A sense of motion and fluidity marries the abstractions of beauty and flora. .

Today’s Repost comes from the windmills of @holly_wren’s mind.... ・・・ 🔥 🔥 🔥 no words for this outfit. If you can rock a bra turban you can rock your own face as a mask! @gilbertorolandoartista ... Honestly still don’t know which image I prefer. Any opinions? Originally shot to have the mask as the face. But now I’m not sure 🤔 : : Thanks for the location @parkchinois amazing retouch by @joe.digital everything else a solo effort by me!
