Every Friday Redeye goes Live with a photographer to talk about their work, the artist community and much more!
The Critique Surgeries are designed to be informal sessions for photographers who are looking for feedback and advice. Maybe you are struggling for inspiration, have hit a dead end with your latest project or you simply want advice on where, or who, to show your work to. In May we are joined by Lauren Maccabee, Lau Ching-Pig and Paul Herrmann.
Redeye's Photo Histories is a new strand of events that looks at some of the many histories that photography can uncover. For the first of our Photo Histories we are thrilled to welcome Anand Chhabra, who founded The Apna Heritage Archive in 2017.
For our latest COVID-19 Case Study Rachel Wallace talks about changes in her work and practice during the pandemic, from a lack of work in funeral photography to experimenting with painting and stitching onto her photographs in her personal work.
