CONTACT Editions
A new edition is released every fortnight, on a Monday. Each edition comes from a different photographer, and is a single image representative of an important body of their work, either ongoing or completed. With a panel of industry professionals, they handpick emerging and established talent in order to provide a broad variety of aesthetics, ideas and approaches to photography. They present photographers who have developed a strong visual language, offering limited edition prints of their work at an affordable price, breaking the convention that only the wealthy can collect.
Edition releases will be accompanied by a video interview with the photographer about the creation of the image and their creative process, allowing visitors to the site access to an ever increasing archive of contemporary thought in photography, which can be downloaded, embedded in blogs or other sites and viewed over and over again. CONTACT want to provide insights into the artists thought processes, the stories behind the images, the intellectual motivations; presenting not only the visual but emphasising the context. Alongside the photographers talking about their work, they have asked professionals within the industry to talk about their roles and to offer advice to artists. By doing this they aim to create an accessible community and resource for both photographers and those inspired by photography.
