Katie Cookie in “Arrangements in Black and Grey” Show at Fox Talbot Museum

Nicolai Grossman Leave a comment

Photon Detector favorite Katie Cooke is showing some of her pinhole work at the Fox Talbot Museum:

Visit our upper gallery to see our current photography exhibition. ‘Arrangements in Black and Grey’ invites you to explore the relevance of black and white photography in the 21st century through a collection of beautiful images from six British artists, Anthony Jones, Deborah Parkin, Trevor Ashby, Nettie Edwards, Mark Voce and Katie Cooke.

Each artist approaches and uses monochrome differently, from the patient process of using a pinhole camera to producing work with only an iPhone to hand, there is more to these photographs than meets the eye.

The fine language of black and white focuses on texture, line and shape. By taking away the distraction of colour we are forced to look at the picture in a different way. The importance of light moves into the foreground and we start to understand the world in subtle tones rather than bold colour.

Show runs 12 April – 22 October, 2013 at the Fox Talbot Museum, Lacock, England

Katie Cooke’s "Balancing Act" pinhole show, Edinburgh

Nicolai Grossman Leave a comment

Relentlessly awesome photographer Katie Cooke‘s Balancing Act series of pinhole photographs opens 3 July, 2010 at Axolotl, Edinburgh, Scotland, and runs for the month.

Cooke writes, “This is a show of my long exposure self portrait pinhole photographs, mostly from the Balancing Act series that I made between 2006 and 2007, exploring the gain, loss, and regain of my ability to stand.”

Two prints from this series are hanging in my home, and they’re beautiful. Go see them in person if you can.

You can see more of her work at her web site, katiecooke.com, and here on Flickr.

Camera Oscura pinhole photography show poster

An international exhibition of contemporary pinhole photography, in Gran Canaria, from 3 to 30 November 2006, featuring work from Ricardo Montesdeoca, Joaquin Casado, Anastasia Medvedeva, Henrieke Strecker, David Cugnasca, Daniel Zrihen, Dmitry Rubinshteyn, and Katie Cooke.

Don’t let the cable release in the eye bother you, I’ve seen work by several of these artists, and they’re amazing. Not "good for pinhole", but great artists, period. If you’re in the area, I suggest not missing this. A printed catalogue will be available.

pinhole self-portrait by Katie Cooke

The mind-bendingly awesome pinhole/lens photographer/camera hacker Katie Cooke of slowlight pinhole blog is currently the featured artist at f295, a pinhole and DIY photography discussion forum.

Katie writes, "…given that I still don’t have my gallery live, it’s a way of seeing 15 of my pinhole photographs without wading through my flickr stream. It’s a mixture of work, including portraits, self-portraits, and some images from Morocco.

"(f295 has recently launched a DIY forum, too, so it’s not just lensless but covers a wider range of camera, lens, and print hacking.)"

I’d go on and on about how amazing her work is, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t know where to stop. I’ll leave it at this: if you aren’t familiar with it, you’re missing out on something special.

Check it out on f295 and Flickr.

(Full disclosure: I know her online.)
