Found
Posted on 04/21/09 04:23 PM
Recently I was having a conversation with Juliette Wolf-Robin, she mentioned a research tool that she's been working on...a relevant new spin on source books...
FOUND is a new series of elegantly designed, large-format, industry targeted promotional books enabling commercial photographers to reach the buyers who will be most interested in their work. Each book in the series is tailored to buyers in one of six industry segments:
· Consumers
· Fashion/Retail
· Home/Garden
· Travel/Leisure
· Food/Beverage
· Health/Wellness
The targeted approach makes the most efficient use of artists’ marketing dollars, since they pay only for the industries they choose to reach.
For artists, a carefully considered design scheme eliminates the need to compete for viewers’ attention. FOUND limits every edition to 100 artists, while each artist appears on only one, uncluttered spread per book. A streamlined, online production process makes it easy for artists to submit their work. They simply select one of 15 templates and upload their images. FOUND takes care of the rest. http://www.foundfolios.com

Elliott Wilcox, "Courts"
Posted on 05/18/09 05:40 PM
While at the NY Photo Festival 09 Awards, I fell in love with the series of images by the winner of the Student Fine Art Series category, Elliot Wilcox entitled, "Courts." The photographs are bold, colorful and graphic depictions of racquet sport courts.
Avedon @ ICP
Posted on 05/18/09 06:03 PM
On Friday night, I headed out to the Avedon Fashion 1944-2000 opening at ICP with Art Buyer, Catherine Johnson. It was crowded, but not as crowded as I expected. We did run into Tracey Thomas from Utopia, but that was it for our industry sightings.
As we wandered the galleries, we were struck by how beautifully printed and glamorous the images were. We wondered if the glamour was partially due to the fact that the models were older than models that we see today in fashion photography.
The exhibition was an interesting mix of exhibition prints, work prints and a few contact sheets along with examples of the actual spreads from the magazines. A great way to get some insight into the Avedon's creative workflow.
PDN Photo Annual Party
Posted on 05/21/09 02:07 PM
Last night I headed out to the PDN Photo Annual party at the Tribeca Skyline Studios for cocktails and the awards. Per usual, it was hard to hear the presenters of the awards due to all the energetic conversations of people catching up with one another. It is definitely a social event. After the awards, the roof opened just in time for us to catch the sunset, grab a nosh of tuna tartare and one last drink. In one corner of the rooftop portraits of the crowd were being shot against the Manhattan skyline. It was a great night to catch up with: Juliette Wolf-Robin - Found, Brian Storm - MediaStorm, photographers: Hans Neleman, David Robin, Sari Goodfriend, Shannon Fagan, Jason Florio and Ben Lowy, agents: Bill Stockland and Maureen Martel – Stockland Martel, Howard Bernstein – Bernstein &Andriulli, Joe Lambardo – Artists and Creatives, Randy Cole - Randy Cole, Colleen Vreeland-Hedleston – Elizabeth Poje, Kristina Snyder – Snyder &Co, Matt Nycz – Brite Productions, Jasmine Defoore -Redux, David Laidler - Aurora, Thea Vaughan – Vaughan Hannigan, retouchers agent: Kate Chase, art producers: Andrea Kaye – McCann Erickson and Lucy Raimengia- independent art producer, and consultants: Mary Virgina Swanson, Debra Weiss, and Allegra Wilde.
I also... Sarah Small

Yesterday, Sarah Small sent me a note letting me know that she is part of a group show of Polaroid-based artists curated by Marshall Kappel in Dumbo on Thursday. (Check Snap Indigo's Events section for further details.)
She went on to mention that she also has a record release the same evening for her Bulgarian a Cappella Quartet, Black Sea Hotel.
I find it refreshing and smart to for her to share her outside artistic endeavors with Art Producers as it gives us insight into her personality.
Old Promos/Tears

Throughout the years, I have thrown out boxes and boxes of printed material. There are a few pieces that have survived. I'll be posting them periodically to give you a sampling of what stood the test of time.

The Review Santa Fe 100
Posted on 06/11/09 08:27 PM
So I keep bumping into blog postings about Center's Review Santa Fe. Specifically an interview with Jason Florio on PDNPulse and some pics from Ben Lowey on aphotoeditor.com.
It's worth taking a look at The Review Santa Fe 100. As a reviewer in 2006, I still remember seeing Amy Stein's "Domesticated" work and Jessica Dimmock's "Ninth Floor" work for the first time. This review is by far my favorite. Extremely well run with high-quality photographic projects.
