By Royal Appointment - Gregoire Alexandre

I'm currently having a serious bit of eye love for the floaty work of Gregoire Alexandre. It started with the lovely French Connection ads, from 101 and CD Richard Flintham.


Don't get me wrong there's more on the site than just wispy photos, there's an awful lot of graphic still life too. But it still retains an ethereal quality of light that brings a calm consideration to Gregoire's work.

My current favourite on the website is this beauty, very reminiscent of the Antony Gormley Blind Light exhibition.

Event: Social Media For Photographers


Recent years have seen dramatic changes across the photographic sector. There are less commissions to go around, clients have different media needs and personal marketing tools seem to be changing almost daily.
So, when faced with so many changes and new social/online marketing platforms, how do you find out which ones are right for you and your photography business?
Join us for a Morning or Afternoon to find out what's what, how it all works and what you could use to help make the right connections and promote your work. You'll get something out of this session whether you're new to using social media, want to know how to be more effective or are loaded with questions.
You can book your place here <==
Speakers & run down of session:
From each of our speakers perspectives you, as a small group, will be walked through the workings of a variety of Social Media platforms, how they use them themselves for business and how to identify which ones you should be using. And are on hand to answer any questions you may have.

Emma Taylor (Photography Consultant and Director of Creative Advice Network)

Thoughts For Photographers

IPads. Most creatives have them now. Let's be honest we're all such Apple addicts it's more of a shock to people when we don't have one.

They're a great way to show your work. Personally I'm still an advocate of the Print Portfolio as your main stage but to have one to bring along to show extended project work, or to take to a PPM to show casting choices; darn handy.

But make sure you don't just rely on that lovely retina display.
One of my favourite folio apps is Folio Book. Which are your faves?
