interview: Bobby Mills

February 16, 2018 by laurenjadeholder

In January Bobby Mills joined Lucy Bentham in our talks around the theme of escapism. We caught up with Bobby to ask a little more about the project he spoke to us about Man. Do you think the way in which you approach your photography has changed after discovering the life of Manfred and his story? I’m not sure my approach has changed in as much as it has developed.

interview: Lucy Bentham

February 10, 2018 by laurenjadeholder

At last months Miniclick talk we explored the theme of escapism with Lucy Bentham and Bobby Mills. We caught up with Lucy to ask a few questions about the way she works. The work you talked of regarding escapism shows landscape photography. Is this the main area you work with currently and has there always been a pull to it for you personally? My project ‘Escape Theory: Sublime’ revolves around a central theme of landscape photography as escapism; borne from […]

Back in September Miniclick looked at the themes of resistance, protest and strikes with two socially minded photographers, Janine Wiedel and Homer Sykes.

October 26, 2017 by laurenjadeholder

In an interview with Homer Sykes, he elaborates on his practice past and present. Some of your images from the 70’s highlight the fragility and division of the class system in Britain. Do you think this depiction is harder to recognise when taking photographs today? Yes it probably is. During the 1970s there was a very distinct […]
