Creativity and constraints

Most of us don’t have to create in our lives. We all live and create with enough constraints. Whether it is not enough money, not enough time or thinking that we need the latest gear – we all have at least one. You will find that there’s a fine line between constraints and excuses. I learned early on that needing the latest gear is simply an excuse. Constraints are limitations that we put in…

On this type of film the only themes to work with are, it seems to me, sex or violence. I chose sex.

Robert Brownjohn, graphic artist and fill titles director, Goldfinger

While best known for his title sequences for the James Bond films From Russia with Love and Goldfinger, Robert Brownjohn had a short but influential career, which integrated design, advertising, film, photography, and music. A major figure in the New York advertising and design scene of the late 1950s. Brownjohn lived with heroin addiction, and its impact on his New York relationships eventually precipitated a move to London in 1960. There he was at the epicentre of the burgeoning music, art, and fashion scene of London’s “swinging ’60s.

In London, Brownjohn rapidly established himself as a designer of note. While working for the firm McCann Erickson, he designed the opening credits for the second James Bond film, From Russia with Love, his first foray into film. The following year he directed the film titles for Goldfinger.

For both title sequences, he employed a surprising and attention-grabbing approach in which the credit texts and scenes from the films were projected onto scantily clad women, initiating the long-running Bond film tradition of elaborate title sequences featuring seductive women.

Brownjohn’s treatment of type as dynamic, abstract forms in the title sequences illustrated both his mastery of graphic design and the enduring influence of Moholy-Nagy’s use of type and photography. His combination of sexually suggestive images and wry humour was a fitting accompaniment to the James Bond mythos.

Margaret Nolan was a twenty-year-old pin-up known as Vicky Kennedy when she was selected to be dressed in a gold leather bikini and dipped in gold paint by Robert Brownjohn for Goldfinger.

Nolan was suggestive enough to requite state approval lest it drive viewers wild. It got the nod, becoming the the first film sequence to require clearance from British film censors. Nolan’s appearance, although eye catching in the title sequence, didn’t really give her fame of the other women who starred in Goldfinger like Pussy Galore or Shirley Eaton or Tania Mallet.

In the movie, it was Shirley Eaton who memorably played the golden girl suffocated in gold paint.

Nolan got a bit of cash and a small part role as Dink, a masseuse.

That small appearance was noticeable enough for her to grab a small part as ‘Grandfather’s Girl at Casino’ in The Beatles film A Hard Day’s Night. But the casting agents and viewers’ liked her. Nolan would go on to appear in such stables of British light entertainment as Crossroads, Carry on Cowboy, Adam Adamant Lives!, Steptoe and Son, The Sweeney and Crown Court. But she never really leveraged her Bond fame in the same way as other Bond girls were to do in the coming years.

Robert Brownjohn was recognised for his daring, winning the prestigious gold pencil at the Design and Art Director Awards in 1965. The broad acclaim he received for the Bond film titles led to more film and commercial work for clients ranging from Pirelli to Midland Bank to the Rolling Stones. Though he continued to produce original and challenging work, in the latter half of the 1960s, his life became increasingly unstable. He was moving from one partnership to another until he died in 1970, at the age of 44.

“I had no idea I was going to shoot Queen as the record company just told me to turn up outside The Playhouse Theatre on The Embakment. I was told Freddie wasn’t very well and he only appeared to perform and then went back to rest. He did perform and looked great as the ‘dark magician’ character"

🔸"We all have our own ideas of how song should be, because I mean a song can be done in so many different ways, depending on of who is doing it.

But sometimes I just feel that it's not right and like in case of Roger's track, which is Magic, I mean, he did it in totally different way, which is quite good, but I just felt that it was another commercial streak, and I just realized that he was going away to LA, and I just got hold of it. I just changed the arrangement completely. And when he came back, I said, 'What do you think?', and he said 'Oh, I like it!'.

It was a completely different song, but you know, it's something, sometimes you can see something else in other people's songs"

Timeless, evocative, and hauntingly beautiful photocollages in a retrospective monograph by a truly innovative image maker whose female gaze transformed fashion photography.

American photographer Deborah Turbeville defies classification. She belongs to no school nor movement. Her unique visual signature has been recognizable since her emergence as a major talent in the 1970s. Her images are evocative, difficult to date at first glance, and seem dreamlike to our twenty-first-century eyes, a very different representation of feminine beauty from the highly sexualized works of her male contemporaries.

This new publication focuses on the area of Turbeville’s practicewhere her genius as an artist can be found: photocollage. In contrast to her contemporaries in fashion photography, she was deliberately playful with her images: xeroxing, cutting, scraping, and pinning prints together, writing in the margins and creating narrative sequences. Her work is located far from single, glossy images. It inhabits a liminal zone between art and commerce.

Built upon extensive research in the Deborah Turbeville archive, the work shown spans commercial and personal projects, with many images published for the first time. With texts by Vince Aletti, Anna Tellgren, and Felix Hoffmann, this book brings into the spotlight the ways in which Turbeville redefined fashion photography, moving away from the sexual provocation and stereotypes assigned by male photographers to an idea of femininity on her terms. Deborah Turbeville: Photocollage will be an essential publication with modern relevance for all with a passion for fashion photography.

Christmas Eve 1985, British Airways Flew 4 Concorde's, G-BOAA, G-BOAC, G-BOAB, G-BOAG

In the words of Concorde Photographer Adrian Meredith: "This was one of the most important and exciting photographic assignments I have ever undertaken, and very prestigious for Concorde. The date was Christmas Eve December 24th 1985; this was the only day possible that we could photograph four of the Concordes together, as they were not flying commercially that day. The Photography was to promote and commemorate the 10-year anniversary of Concordes commercial service. After 10 years of service the BA Concorde's had 71,000 supersonic flying hours!

Many hours were spent at the briefing sessions, to ensure the formations were tidy to military precision. Different formations were discussed, and decided upon. The swan, the diamond & the echelon, to ensure all went to plan. Nothing like this had ever been done before commercially. Concorde Senior Captains Brian Walpole and John Cook were experienced pilots and had a wealth of experience of flying in formation, from their days in the RAF. My task was to capture in essence the group formations. The flight plan was to take-off from Heathrow, fly to Filton in Bristol, the home of Concorde, down the Bristol Channel, and return to London, flying at a height of around 18,000 feet.

The Lear Jet had to be fitted with optically corrective glass in the windows, which wouldn’t distort the camera’s image. We were first to take off in the Lear Jet, from London Heathrow, and special permission had to be granted for each Concorde to take-off every 30 seconds, in succession. This had never been done before.

The weather was very dark and gloomy as it was December time the sun was low and watery. We rose above, and circled over the clouds, to brighter skies, and as we looked down, we saw each Concorde pop through the clouds like a firing bullet. After the 4th aircraft had emerged we quickly descended and took chase at full throttle to try and catch them up. They started to manoeuvre and steadily flew into position for the first formation . . . flying in diamond, then echelon and swan formation.

The weather was very poor, and every time they set-up for a different formation, a bank of cloud would roll in, and the Concordes would have to break off their positioning for safety.

This gave me a briefest of opportunities to liaise with the pilots, in between the shooting. As soon as they were back in another formation, I knew the photography had to be very brief; on one occasion we banked steeply, sweeping over the top of the formation to get the perfect overhead shots. Other photography was taken side on, during one stage of a particular formation; the Concorde wing tips were only 70ft apart. The entire exercise took one hour and 45 minutes, and all Concorde's returned safely home, and thankfully I had all the shots in the can."

"Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.” – Paul Gauguin

The yearning to capture the world in color has always been with us. Whether it was painting on walls in caves, crafting vegetable dyes for textiles, the development of oil paints, to experimenting with chemistry in photographic processes--the allure of color has motivated artists to represent the world as they experience it.

The autochrome, an ephemeral photographic process patented in 1903 by the Lumière brothers, released commercially in 1907, and produced until the mid-1930′s, changed the possibilities of photography. Over a hundred years ago, what was once only available in monochrome, became possible for photographers--without great technical skill or a different camera--to capture the world in color as they saw it. During the brief 30-year history of the Lumière manufactured glass plates, photographers produced hundreds of thousands of autochromes. However, because of their inherent fragility and sensitivity to light, autochromes would later be supplanted by other more practical photographic processes, particularly the rise of Kodachrome in 1935. Alas, the autochrome would fade to memory. 

Drawing on the resources of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, which houses one of the most extensive collections of autochromes, Color Mania: Photographing the World in Autochrome by Catlin Langford is a scholarly and considered reminder of our yearning for color. This new publication from Thames & Hudson reveals work that has never been shown, and helps us to understand the significance of autochromes in our shared photographic history.

To see the early 20th century in color is to see the world anew. The work of long forgotten photographic pioneers like Helen Messinger Murdoch, who was the first woman to travel the world taking autochromes, is included in the book. Her travel pictures from the early 1900′s remind us how modern autochromes can seem. We magically and immediately experience the past in color. The lush, painterly, pointillism look of the autochrome is unique. And like a language we have not heard in a long time, the images in Color Mania remind us how deep and mysterious that language can be. --Lane Nevares

James Craig Annan the pioneering Scottish photographer was born on March 8th 1864 in Hamilton.

The second photographer today, we Scots though are more familiar with Annan’s work, and that of his father Thomas.

James Craig Annan learned photography from his father, he joined the family business T. & R. Annan & Sons, in 1883. In 1883 Annan accompanied his father to Vienna, Austria to learn the photogravure process from its inventor Karl Klic. The Annan’s purchased the rights to the process and brought it home.

In 1887 after the death of This father, James took over the portrait side of the business as well as direction of the photogravure printing. His brother John ran the commercial side of the business. In 1889 the firm T. & R. Annan & Sons became the photographers and photogravures to Queen Victoria.

In the 1890s Annan made prints of the negatives taken by the duo David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson and produced photogravures from these negatives. The much travelled Annan photographed in the northern Netherlands and in 1he travelled to the north of Italy, there are also pics online of his photographs of Toledo and Granada in Spain. 

Annan was elected a member of the pictorial photography group the Linked Ring, London in 1894 and in 1904 he  became the first president of the International Society of Pictorial Photographers (‘Pictorial Photography in Britain’). 

James Annan died of carcinoma of the stomach at his home, Glenbank House, 1 Beechmount Road, Lenzie, Dunbartonshire, on 5thJune 1946 and two days later was buried in the Auld Aisle cemetery at Kirkintilloch. 

It was not until the late 1970s that interest in his work revived. Yet at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, when photography was fighting for recognition as an art in its own right, he was ‘universally conceded … to be “one of the ablest, the most gifted, most artistic of the really great pictorial photographic leaders of the times’

I think the internet again meant James Annan’s work was recognised by a larger audience, not just those that have an interest in photography, and anyone who follows Scottish history, especially that of Glasgow, will know of his work.

[ jonathan bailey, cis man, he/him ] — whoa! JASPER ‘JACK’ TOMKINS just stole my cab! not cool, but maybe they needed it more. they have lived in the city for TEN YEARS, working as a MODEL / OWNER OF GLOW. that can’t be easy, especially at only 35 YEARS OLD. some people say they can be a little bit RESTLESS and STUBBORN, but i know them to be GENIAL and DILIGENT. whatever. i guess i’ll catch the next cab. hope they like the ride back to BROOKLYN! — (penny, 24, gmt, she/her, none)

fullname:  jasper henry tomkins. nickname(s): jack ( used by everyone ), jas ( usually just close friends / family ), jasp ( uncommonly used ). age:  thirty-five. birthday: july 6th. gender / pronouns:  cis man ,  he / him. orientation:  homosexual / homoromantic. place of birth: oxford, england. current residence: 'vintage' loft apartment, brooklyn. height: 5'9. personality: considerate, pragmatic, evasive, self-critical.

born and raised in oxford jasper's parents were both teachers ( mum of biology & dad of history ) and he the youngest of three, with an older brother & sister. while his siblings followed in the academic path set by their parents, jasper was consumed by a love for ballet from a young age.

he attended the royal ballet school for several years thanks to bursaries, but at eighteen suffered a back injury that had to be treated with surgery and though he mostly recovered ( it still plays up every now and then ) but decided then it wasn't the career path for him.

so he started a degree in music and drama at university and ended up doing some modelling for fellow students in fashion and photography. with their encouragement & his family's, he built a portfolio and approached several agencies. he began part time work straight away ; dribs and drabs here and there, but enough for jack to find a real passion.

dropped out of uni and struggled through a few years of ups and downs ( mainly downs ) in london. his luck started to turn at 23 and this prompted his move to new york two years later. the ups and downs ratio slowly shifted towards more of the former and at 26 he booked his first real editorial shoot in an issue of harper's bazaar.

after this he started earning regularly in editorial and commercial fashion; enough to move from his first dingy brooklyn apartment and start saving. his ownership of glow came completely out of nowhere ; jasper would never dream of being a business owner. until, of course, a club space not far from his home became available. it is maybe the most impulsive thing he's ever done and for sure he has stress dreams about it since taking ownership with a friend ( maybe a wc ?? ) two years ago, but it's done and glow is now his baby. he still models & loves it of course, but channels most of his energy into glow.

it was always going to be an lgbtq+ space and it had been a club before, so that was a pretty easy decision. but it's by no means just a club. downstairs is only open from the evening and is the designated club space ( though there are alcohol-free & relaxed nights even in the club ), but upstairs is a much more relaxed space with a bar and cafe capabilities. jack really wants it to become a community hub of sorts.

headcanons

is probably a relatively mid to high-level model. he's had his fair share of shoots in popular magazines / work with well-known brands so recognisable to an extent, but not considered a supermodel or a household name, really.

supports local small businesses ( esp queer ones ) at any chance, whether in the club or through investment, sponsorship, whatever. he has money ( like, a good amount of it ) & kinda status for the first time in his life so is always trying to find ways to share it out and make sure as many people benefit as possible.

has been known to randomly appear at the club's karaoke night and take part. usually a wham! song or never gonna give you up if he's feeling funny. if he's not modelling, he can usually be found at glow, obsessing over one thing or the other and being a typical perfectionist / stress head overthinking things.

bubbly af ; just wants to be friends with everyone. lowkey golden retriever energy. some people-pleasing tendencies but he's getting better since being in business and realising that sometimes it's very important to say no.

a dreadfully hopeless romantic. his dating history has, like his career, had many ups and downs. still firmly believes in love and the idea of settling down with 'the one' which has been his most recent dating goal though he's fallen out of the scene a lot with being so busy.

i'm building a wee plots page here but it's bare af & i would frankly lay down my life for any plots at all
