Exhibitors - Dec 2016

December 2016 London Photo Show Award Winner, Bhav Gulabivala is a London based photographer. Working in the fashion industry, he has a keen interest in style, people and also travel, which neatly crosses over into his photography. The photos on display are mostly taken from his Lifestyle portfolio.

Storytelling and capturing unique moments in time are Bhav’s speciality, whether that be the street band in Istanbul or the tattoo artist at work at a Berlin fashion show. He has undertaken various commissions including a retrospective on Bermondsey, an exploration of neon in Soho and more traditional projects, such as wedding and portraiture shoots. He also works with a number of corporate clients.

He has been shooting landscapes for over 11 years and works out of his gallery in York. His work has been exhibited in galleries across the country and he is an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society. His inspiration is the British landscape and the diversity of photographic material that can be found within it, from the rugged cliffs and crags of the coast to the tranquil beauty of the sweeping hills and valleys of the lakes, moors and dales.

When Chris is not out in the landscape building his portfolio he can be found teaching one of his many photographic workshops that are based in and around the UK and Venice. Courses range from one day photography workshops to more intensive, residential three and four day courses that also include overviews on the editing process using lightroom and photoshop. All courses are limited to just four participants to ensure plenty of personal attention. All tuition is by Chris. See website for further information.

Photography is the story I fail to put in words.

Carmen has always been an artistic and creative soul. From the moment she discovered herself and the world around her, she would spend her time drawing and painting, incorporating fashion design in her teens .

Although Carmen embraced photography about 10 years ago, she always took pictures with her eyes.

Photography is a magical kind of art, an infinite inspiration and energy, spontaneity and freedom. She strives to capture the moment’s spirit, timeless images.

Alison Baskerville is a freelance documentary photographer based in the UK.

After graduating with a Masters in Photojournalism from the University of Westminster she has covered areas affected by conflict such as Afghanistan, Gaza, Mali, Iraq and Somaliland.

A former member of the Armed Forces, Alison is still engaged in the aftermath of war and regularly works either independently or on commission for non-governmental organisations and media outlets.

Using narratives which combine recorded interviews and images, Alison works towards storytelling with integrity and a focus on the representation of the subjects. Her work has been exhibited across the UK and Europe.

Esther Serrano is a Spanish artist based in London. She purchased her first camera shortly after the birth of her eldest daughter, in order to document her childhood as she grew up. Years later she began drawing and painting, and gradually these hobbies developed into a passion.
In 2010 she completed the two year City Lit Fine Art Course, and in 2011 David Cranswick introduced her to the traditional painting methods and materials of the European Old Masters.
Embarking late on an artistic career as a figurative artist, Esther is fascinated by people, light and shadow, reflections and textures. She enjoys working in a variety of mediums, her favourite being the one she is using at the time.
Her paintings and linocuts were exhibited at the Society of Women Artist at Mall Galleries, London in June 2014; and was shortlisted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 2013, and the Royal Portrait Society in 2016.
Recently, she has become a member of the Muswell Hill Photographic Society, and won the Mike McCArthy Photographic Award for Art in Nature 2016.

About Christian:

My passion for photography started years ago  with my first camera. I haven’t stopped taking photographs since.

As for me, I like to take photographs from natural views, Beauties, architecture  or to discover special moments  as well as  to express phantasy by photocomposings. Through my work, I want to reflect and unveil the beauty of our world, which is often hidden or overlooked in daily life.

Hope you enjoy the photographs.

Most photos are for sale. Please refer to Flyers and price-list from csh-photography.

About Emily:

I grew up in a suburb of Detroit Michigan and came to England in 1993 after obtaining a BA in English Literature from Michigan State University.

Photography turned from a passion into a profession after my youngest of three children started school.

I love to shoot everything from portraits of dogs and horses to children to landscapes and street photography.

About Sylvia:

I have lived in Belvedere, London, UK all my life.

Having been a social worker for many years, I decided to retire and devote my time entirely to the world of photography. Traveling throughout Europe taking images of interesting people and places.

Photography and art is a window to many worlds. Besides looking to shoot fascinating photos there are still images in my head from my time as a social worker leaving an impression on me to make these images: Poverty,drugs, loneliness, sadness, but alsohumanity and beauty.

About Stewart:

I began taking photos as a teenager and always maintained a keen interest throughout my life. However, over the last 4-5 years I have taken it much more seriously and developed my skills and interests across a range of genres to include portrait (studio and environmental), street and documentary, travel and landscape, Urbex and art nude.

In the past I have exhibited in London at the former Stephen Bartels Gallery, and had images published by online magazines;
-EYE-Photo Magazine, October 2016, Eye catching moments supplement, and,
