The Women Who Changed Photography by Gemma Padley

More information, including a selection of featured artists, can be found below. To purchase a copy please click here. Discover 50 groundbreaking female photographers and how to incorporate their styles and techniques into your own photography. Often in the shadow of their male counterparts, these inspirational women developed new techniques, created their own signature styles and captured everything from war to fashion. From early pioneers to contemporary leaders, they paved the way for generations to come and continue to do so, inspiring them to pick up a camera and decide what type of photographer they want to be. Featuring masters of the medium, such as Anna Atkins, Imogen Cunningham, Nadine Ijewere, Lee Miller, Shirin Neshat, Lorna Simpson, Cindy Sherman, Zanele Muholi and Ingrid Pollard, this book is beautifully illustrated with full-colour images of the photographers and their work. It tells the story of these groundbreaking women, how they changed the way we see the world today and helped shape the future of photography. It also provides expert advice on how you can celebrate these trailblazers in your own photography. Follow the instructions to master their techniques and recreate their styles in your own work. |

Many of these photographs have only recently been discovered and are reproduced here for the first time. |

I will also be taking part in a panel discussion on Photography Focus Day, with Anne Braybon and Aliki Braine, chaired by Rodrigo Orrantia.

Conscientious Photography Magazine
The Photograph Isn't the Landscape by Jörg M. Colberg (online) I'm really pleased to have *Constructed Landscapes featured on Conscientious Photography Magazine, in a thoughtful and insightful piece by Jörg M. Colberg, which can be read in full here. A short excerpt has been included below. "I usually find photography that centres on its own process tedious and boring. But Talmor’s is one of the few cases where process and idea actually overlap, so I’m always made to look beyond process. In other words, the work does not limit itself to “look what I can do” — that sad end point of so much very process-based photography." *The book includes newly commissioned essays by Olga Smith, Shoair Mavlian, a poem by Cherry Smyth and an interview with Gemma Padley. Beautifully designed by Hans Gremmen, the book contains 44 main colour plates from the two project sub-series alongside extensive previously unpublished process material such as reproductions of contact sheets, constructed negatives and preparatory studies. |

Architectural Review
Land (printed journal) An image from my Constructed Landscapes series is featured in Issue 1475 (October 2020) of the Architectural Review journal in Land Marks, a photo essay by Eleanor Beaumont that can be viewed here. The essay also features work by artists Fay Godwin, Sebastiao Salgado, Viktor Brim, Diana Zeyneb Alhindawi, Edward Burtynsky, Leah Dyjak, Ricardo Moraes, Fazal Sheikh, Sohei Nishino, Sue Barr, Yto Barrada and Gordon Parks. Notions of ownership and belonging, of construction and production, and all that make up the knotted web of layers and connotations associated with the word ‘land’ both express the colonial structures that underpin our understanding of the world and exert that coloniality back upon the world. This issue begins to pull at the threads that weave these brutal logics into earth. |

Group Exhibition Weston Park, Shropshire 4 June - 3 September, 2017 I'm delighted to announce that I'm taking part in a group exhibition curated by Meadow Arts at Weston Park including work by Salvatore Arancio, Pablo Bronstein, David Bethell, Edward Chell, Ryan Gander, Jasleen Kaur, Helen Maurerm Helene Muheim, Heather & Ivan Morison and Julian Opie. As stated on their website: "Meadow Arts brings a vibrant programme of contemporary art to Weston Park for the first time. Renowned contemporary artists have been invited to explore Weston Park and its history, responding to ‘Capability’ Brown’s grand landscape and James Paine’s architecture with newly commissioned work and a group exhibition. In this corner of the West Midlands, two radically different visions of man-made landscapes collide: on the one hand, the idealised landscaped garden magnificently expressed at Weston, on the other, the emerging industrial landscape. Synthetic Landscapes takes place across two venues, investigating these different ideas; at Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery artist David Bethell examines the birth of the industrial landscape. Meadow Arts bring unique contemporary art projects to places where art is not usually shown, supporting artists by commissioning new work and creating inspiring events and exhibitions for new audiences."

Nostalgias: Visualising Longing
Group Exhibition The Pie Factory, Margate 1-12 November, 2013 Private View November 8, 6-8.30 pm The exhibition, coinciding with the Nostalgias: Visualising Longing conference, explores nostalgia for place, home, imaginary homelands. Focusing on photographic and sensory work that explores the interpretations of nostalgia and longing, the work in the exhibition is not in itself nostalgic, but investigates how nostalgia has manifested itself in contemporary art practice. Especially curated by Monica Takvam and Sam Vale to coincide with the conference, this exhibition brings together the work of 10 national and international artists from Taiwan, Norway, Germany and the UK, offering a unique range of questions and responses to what it means to long for another place. |
