Martin Schoeller

So I have been going on for a while about a catch up on the exhibitions I have been visiting over the summer. As soon as I landed in Paris I noticed Martin Schoeller was having an exhibition at A. Galerie, it seemed like it was more aimed at art buyers as a sort of Paris this is Martin Schoeller, not really a theme to the exhibition more just a showcase of his recent portfolio, but the oppertunity to see large prints of photographs taken on 10x8 should never be missed. Here is the flyer for the exhibition. (On a side note Zidane is one of my heroes).

Wolfgang Tillmans

Just been told that wolfgang has some of his books to download as pdf on his website, worth a look because it's free.....

Irving Penn

Only just found out today that Irving Penn died earlier this month aged 92, Irving was one of the most influential photographers of the fashion and famous world. He had this amazing style of mixing classical elegance with minimalism with a long career at vogue his photographs were instantly recognisable for fixing his subjects to there background and never being blurred.

Obhama's People

I mentioned this earlier but I managed to visit Nadav Kander's work whilst it was exhibition at the Flower Gallery in London, thanks to a tip off by Jake Baggerley (whose Chernobyl and Blind series's are great and well worth a look). Was so great to see the work printed big and to such a high quality. the great thing about going to exhibitions is being able to see the small details that are not visible on the interenet such as the word love which is embroided on Reggie Love's Cuffs. Even though this exhibition has now finished it should be touring elsewhere for a while, around the world and blatantly back again in the UK so I really recommend seeing it. I bought the book that went with the exhibition which includes a really interesting foreword by photographic critic Francis Hodgson about the history of portraits.
