Creative Review – March 2018
Two interesting articles in the latest Creative Review.
“Where digital was once the go-to medium in photography, chosen for its ease and cheapness, photographers are now returning to film, in both their personal and commercial work. We examine why.”
In which Meyerowitz talks a lot about his working with Tony Ray-Jones and the new book on his life’s work, Where I Find Myself is published by Laurence King and costs £45. You can see more of Meyerowitz’s work at joelmeyerowitz.com.

Bill Jay
News reached me this week of a film, currently still in production, titled Do Not Bend: The Photographic Life of Bill Jay.
It’s being produced under the aegis of The United Nations of Photography, an independent platform designed to encourage informed lens-based media conversation and debate.
Visit their website here: www.unitednationsofphotography.com

News on the film’s release schedule and screenings will follow as I hear more.
