Casa das Sete Senhoras / The House of the Seven Women – by Tito Mouraz

“It is still said around here that the house is haunted. At the house there lived seven women, all maiden sisters. One of them was a witch. On full moon nights, the ladies in their white garments would fly from the balcony to the leafy branches of the chestnut across the street. From there they would seduce men who passed by. In the House of … Continue reading Casa das Sete Senhoras / The House of the Seven Women – by Tito Mouraz

Interview with photographer Carrie Schreck

Cary Benbow (CB): Why did you become a photographer? How did you get started? Carrie Schreck (CS): I messed around a bit with film as a kid but the real answer this: when I first lived in San Francisco, my boyfriend and I never locked our car. It’s best just to leave it unlocked with nothing in it; if someone breaks in, at least you don’t have to … Continue reading Interview with photographer Carrie Schreck

Book Review: MTWTFSS by Sophie Harris-Taylor

A Process of Healing – Interview with photographer Tarah Sloan

I came across a series of images by Tarah Sloan when reviewing work in the F-Stop Magazine exhibition, Family, earlier this year. The exhibition took place at a time when Sloan was not able to give her input for an interview, but I had the chance to revisit her work; and I am glad for the opportunity. In our interview, she revealed the back-story for her … Continue reading A Process of Healing – Interview with photographer Tarah Sloan

Book Review: Out of the Ordinary: A Journey Through Everyday Scotland | Vol. 1 by Iain Sarjeant

Book Introduction by Iain Sarjeant: Much of my photography is spontaneous in nature – I enjoy wandering, exploring, discovering, observing – often in everyday places. It’s a way of working that I find very fulfilling – just drifting and seeing what is round the next corner. Out Of The Ordinary has developed from this approach, and reflects my interest in people’s relationship and interaction with … Continue reading Book Review: Out of the Ordinary: A Journey Through Everyday Scotland | Vol. 1 by Iain Sarjeant

My Nana’s Name is Evelyn — Photographer Will Harris

Evelyn — Project Statement We all have places that we know well, but have been absent from our minds for a long period of time. We remember these places how they were.

The memories are still there, but the reality … Continue reading My Nana’s Name is Evelyn — Photographer Will Harris
