Emma Crichton recently graduated with a First Class BA Hons Degree in Photography from Edinburgh College of Art. Experimenting with different subject matter she is interested in the relationship between people, objects and nature. In terms of the aesthetic, the physical and the emotional.

Emma is currently exhibiting her series ‘I started to laugh…’ in Street Level Gallery Glasgow as part of the group exhibition ‘Futureproof’ which showcases the work of emerging photographers from around Scotland.

Emma says “The images I have made for this series are nostalgic. I am photographing people that I want to hold on to, who are important to me and who I can’t be with all the time. The other elements I have photographed such as the still-lives, animals and landscapes are for me all ultimately related to one another.”

Emma has completed internships with Dazed and Confused magazine and Rankin Photography and is now living and working in London. You can see more of her work at emmacrichton.com.

Yorkshire boy, Jamie Shaw is currently living and studying in Glasgow. He doesn’t have a regimental format when it comes to photography, he carries his camera everywhere and what clicks in his mind, he captures.

There is a strong essence of escapism and fun in his photos. He does seem to have a knack for capturing the best moments at the best parties. It’s good to be able to immerse yourself in the fun and adventure which seems to be so present in his lifestyle.

Jamie has had work featured in Vice Magazine and also on Booooooom. Check out his Flickr collection We Are Adventurers.

Though they have never met, David Cooper and Steve Messer recently collaborated on this 35mm double exposure project.Steve got in touch with David on flickr and a friendship developed. David shot a roll of film on his Olympus Trip 35, removed the film in a darkroom (the bog) and sent it to Steve, in Bath. Steve then used this exposed film to shoot his 36 pictures on top. After a long time (Steve loves his green) the results emerged. Furthermore, a can of deodorant exploded in Steve’s bag, affecting the prints.

Due to the marriage of digital photography and simple photo editing tools, this effect may come ten to a penny. What’s inspiring about this project is the effort that’s went into it. In this current age of convenience, collaborations like this tend not to happen between two strangers.

You can see more of the project at their joint account.
