Self relection in fashion photography, an exhibtion at the Photographers Gallery.
‘The international photographers in this exhibition undress the theatre of fashion and question the creation of perfect beauty. Fashion in the Mirror is an overview of their self-examination and a rare look behind-the-scenes of fashion photography from the 1950s to the present day.’

The Viewfinder Photography Gallery in Greenwich, south east London, has just unveiled an innovative collection of exhibition catalogues – we are delighted to offer these bespoke catalogues to our visitors, photography lovers and book collectors.
The catalogues are produced using the latest print-on-demand techniques, hand-covered with traditional buckram (bookcloth) and ribbon, and feature a tipped-in print on the cover.
Besides using print on demand technology, in itself more environmentally responsible than traditional printing in bulk, the handbound cases are designed to hold catalogues from any exhibition which allows the gallery to produce copies to order and so minimise waste.
Bookbinding is something of a dying art and the Viewfinder Photography Gallery is proud to be supporting London bookbinders, and to be combining new print on demand technology with traditional craftsmanship.
Poets, journalists, art writers, academics and photographers contribute substantial texts for the catalogues, providing further background and research on each exhibition.
The catalogues are on sale now, priced £20, or £10 for the softback version without the case. Advance orders are also being taken for boxed sets of 10, priced at £180.
For more information or further images, call 020 8858 8351 or email gallery@viewfinder.org.uk

Voluntary Fundraising Manager
You will be responsible for managing and implementing the fundraising strategy for this not-for-profit photography gallery, which is currently unfunded – accordingly, this is a voluntary role.
Your input will follow research already conducted into appropriate sources of funding.
The ideal candidate will have experience in fundraising from a range of sources (including public bodies, trusts and through membership schemes and sponsorship), and be confident in both writing funding applications and in making follow up phone calls.
The role will require a minimum commitment of two days a week, for two months, although it would be beneficial if you were able to commit to a full week intially.
To apply, please email a CV and covering letter to gallery@viewfinder.org.uk

Only came across this in the Financial Times weekend paper.
The shortlisted photographers are the lucky ones. To have reached that shortlist… you would have had a lot of exposure… in gallery shows, books, other competitions, awards… articles in magazines about your work, on the net… and one of the judges may have been following your work over a period of time.
A very well thought through award. Topical, will have mileage, high profile people on board… Régis Durand, Abbas, Francis Hodgson.
