Talks: Soapbox in London – Tues 12th April

March 13, 2016 by Jim Stephenson

Last year we started doing our Soapbox event in London and they were a huge hit! Short talks by five different photographers in a packed pub each night. In the midst of a busy Winter schedule we had to pause them for a bit, so we’re delighted to announce their return this April in Hackney! Each speaker is given 20 slides, with 20 seconds on each slide, which leads to some fast paced, informal short talks and plenty of chances […]

Now an entire world has been imagined, and the Cosmic Surgery team are looking for help to fund a second edition of the book on Kickstarter. We spoke to Emily about the world they’ve created, the nature of collaborating and what to expect from the new book… Cosmic Surgery […]

Turns out, they were both photographers too, so we thought we’d take a look at their work on our blog… Jo Dressler Jo’s work beautifully combines her illustration with her photographic portraiture to create these striking images, influenced by her […]
