The camera has become an extension of my soul, in search of that perfect balance between my Heart, Mind and Sight when a scene resonates to undeniable Harmony.

The world around us is in constant motion pulsating with movement, change and challenges from which I find inspiration.

The History of Mankind remains a focus to my travels and understanding of past and present events….

Daniel Sambraus is a British/German photographer, based in London since completing photography studies at the London College of Communication in the mid-90s.

With a deep background in photojournalism and studio still-life stock photography, Daniel has spent years concentrating on the “perfect” image with maximum detail and resolution. Moving away from commercial photography and concentrating solely on personal projects since 2018, Daniel is still using the skills acquired in commercial photography. However, these days, he is more interested in the abstract aspects of the world around us.

Janet Baylis is intrigued by the play of light on the shapes that surround us, and how the colour of light changes the mood and characteristics of what we see.

Inspired by nature, this is a set of flower prints exploring the elements that make an image peaceful and uplifting. As she delves into this theme more and more, she finds she is also attracted to the less harmonious side of the natural world.

Janet would like to create images to reflect a kind of ‘beautiful’ discord and she is excited at the prospect of developing these concepts further.

Nacho Rivera is a Spanish photographer based in London.

Since 2009, he has worked as a freelance photographer carrying out documentary projects around the world, focusing on the human behaviours to understand, the cultural diversity that makes up our world, trying to send a message of respect to each other.

His work has been published and exhibited internationally.

All the pictures displayed on the exhibition have been taken, developed and printed using analogue process by himself.

He decided to work this way because it allows him to immerse deeply in photography, working slowly during the whole process, from the capture until the final print in the darkroom.

Anton Caines is a British photographer based in London, with a passion for long exposure, architectural and urban photography.

This body of work focuses on locations that piqued his interest; London, Berlin, Brighton and Southend-On-Sea.

Anton has chosen to represent the locations in a unique way – the main aim being to convey captivating and intriguing imagery. Architectural forms feature heavily throughout this work as standalone pieces and as a stage in which the human subject can interact.

Growing up in London Anton feels that city life is an extension of him and enjoys exploring man-made environments. This is juxtaposed with Anton’s work of seascapes, which reflects a more natural environment.

Craig More about me;

I’m here just trying to find my feet in the vast world that is photography.

Through the lens I want to share what I “imagine, create, capture, inspire” meaning others get to see those moments, memories and places as I see them.

Bojian Xu is a photographer from China, who is graduating from MA Photography at University of Brighton. Bojian’s works “Dialogue” is the final project of the MA degree, which is inspired by the Chinese traditional cultural symbol Yin and Yang. The original idea of this work is personal intuitive feeling in term of curiosity and concern for the future. Bojian is eager to explore and capture the duality power in personal negative sentiments, also interested in props and body languages utilisation via visual language within conceptual photographic art and visual metaphor.

Richard Earney is a photographer who aims to represent the landscape using Abstract and Conceptual photography, working in long running series rather than the individual image.

Richard’s work at the London Photo Show will represent two of his most recent projects; a multi-year Polaroid manipulation project which uses images made in the landscape, then manipulated with liquids and chemicals to create abstracted aerial views of imaginary worlds. The second project, The Prismatic Pond, is a year-long (so far) study of a nondescript pond in a local country park. This pond is far from the idyllic village pond, but constant revisiting has yielded magic of a different kind.

Any photographic subject whether it be people, graffiti, architecture, abandoned buildings, vandalised vehicles, or Mother Nature herself is the ‘art’, intended or otherwise, of someone or something else before it becomes the photographer’s own.

Specialising exclusively in the medium of BLACK & WHITE and INFRARED, Justyna of monoimàge.photography sees, respects and appreciates this ‘art of others’ in everything she captures, everywhere she travels, regardless of how large or small a subject is.

Nick Hodgson is based in London and mainly concentrates on landscape and garden photography. He supplies images for various clients including the RHS, The English Garden magazine, Plantia magazine (Japan), the Press Association and the Mail Online. He has been a keen photographer since the early 1980’s and three years ago changed careers to concentrate fully on his photography practice.

Last year he spent time in Namibia and his work at this show is taken from a larger body of work of landscapes from this beautiful country, all of which is available for purchase.
