Posted on 12th Dec 2011 by lomokev

Are you a creative type living or working in Brighton? Then you could enter Create in Brighton. It’s a graphic design, photography and illustration competition in association with Know the Not Known and Tiger Beer.

I have been asked to judge along with Lawrence Zeegen and Sarah Arnett. The theme of the competition is “discover” and the top prize if £1000 cash. Work must be submitted by the Sunday 20nd of January 2012. For more details and how to enter check out the website or the competition Facebook page.

Even though I am a little biased I can say it’s a great competition to enter as its free, its quite common for comps to ask for an entrance fees sometimes £15+. Also the £1000 is in cash, other comps will often offer vouchers. So what are waiting for get involved.

Last street style spread for Brighton Source magazine in 2011

Posted on 11th Dec 2011 by lomokev

The December / January edition of Brighton Source Magazine is out with my usually Street Style section but this time I have three pages instead of the usually single page. The three pages show small selection of some of the un-printed shots form 2011 which is nice as some times I have bumper months and its a shame when certain portraits don’t get published. There will be no issue in January so this issue is way bigger than usually because it has to last until February 2012.

Brighton Source magazine spreads for December - January

As per usually you can see the all the images I shoot for Source in November below. You can always keep an eye on my montage portraits on my fragmented portraits tumblr or in my montage portraits flickr set. Continue reading →

Posted on 27th Nov 2011 by lomokev

Nigel Swallow the man behind the long running Brighton calendar has put together a huge book of Brighton Photos. It’s not just huge because of its 328 pages but also because its dimensions size 34cm x 24cm, the only thing that is not huge about is the price £24! The book has been 10 years in the making because Nigel kept him self busy running a gallery and putting together a calendar every year. Most of the work in the book is Nigel’s, the rest is contributed by 50+ other local photographers including me. Below is a flip though of the book that I put together.

Lytro is a company that is bringing cameras to market that uses a technology called “light field photography”. The cameras capture light in a different way to a normal camera. As if by magic, once a photo is taken, the focus can be changed.

Amit Gupta of Photojojo needs a little help

Posted on 14th Oct 2011 by lomokev

This is Amit Gupta aka SuperAmit as he’s know on flickr & twitter AKA the guy that started Photojojo.

Amit Gupta needs your help finding a bone marrow donor

Amit recently started feeling tired all the time, usually when this happens to a San Francisco start up CEO it’s just “burn out” but unfortunately this was not the case. It turns out he has Leukemia. At the moment he is going through chemo but once done he will need a bone marrow transplant for the best chance of survival. Unfortunately because of his ancestry it’s tough to find a donor as not many people of South Asian decent are on the transplant register. If you are of South Asian decent (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nepalis, Bhutan, Maldives, or Sri Lankan) you can get a free mouth swab kit to see if you are compatible donor (if you live in the United States or Puerto Rico).

If your not of South Asian decent or reside outside of the united states you can still help by: re-blogging this tumbler post and generally spreading the word.

Please help, Amit is a super cool guy he works hard and is definitely nice to people so deserves to get through this.

September Source Magazine street style

Posted on 13th Sep 2011 by lomokev

Brighton Source mag has once again hit the streets with one of my trend spotting pics inside. Check it out if you are in Brighton. Its been a month since I started Fragmented Portraits, my new Tumblr blog and I have already gained a few followers, which is great. I have been uploading new and old montage portraits to Fragmented Portraits. The beauty of this new blog is that the images are uploaded as PNGs which means that if you want to reblog them you will not get an ugly white border on Tumblr blogs that don’t have white backgrounds. But if Tumblr is not your thing you can still enjoy all the new images below and I will of course still be uploaded them to my Montage Portrait set on flickr.
