The Tutu Project - Bob CareyBy Natalie LloydToo often, we resign ourselves to the monotony of small talk – we recite these gestural introductions with very little meaning behind them and expect the same in return, but when I read this line from Bob I could already sense that this wasn’t going to be a flippant email. I met Bob Carey in the autumn of 2010 as a friend and a client of my boss; we were helping him update his website and as the digital native, I was the one tinkering around on the CMS – uploading content and logos. Far from the typical photographer-consultant relationship, I was introduced to Bob and his wife, Linda, as close friends of my boss and found myself warmly invited into their friendship. About a month in, Bob got in touch with me to see if I could assist him on a shoot for Ballerina, an ongoing series of environmental portraits of Bob in a pink tutu. |

On Trend: WINk 8By Natalie LloydPerhaps it's the thought of the world's imminent Mayan ending next year which has ignited a storm of future predictions in the photography community. "What's Next?" has been the question of 2011 - from whether we should consider mobile phone images as worthy of our time as large format, to whether a reproduction of Google Maps should even be considered 'photography'. Who even is the photographer in a world where every phone has a camera, where there are pervasive automated eyes on street corners and where Art Directors ask for video footage as well as stills? |
