Ellie Davies: Stars 2015

Ellie Davies is a young British fine art photographer who gained an MA in Photography from the London College of Communication in 2008. Much of her work is made in the forests of Southern England, and Davies uses the landscape as a studio space to explore our understanding of landscape as well as being a personal exploration of the woodland and forests where she grew up.

Davies latest body of work, Stars, interposes ancient forest landscapes with images of the Milky Way, Omega Centauri and other embroyonic stars (Source Material Credit: STScI/Hubble & NASA).

Franck Bohbot: Cinema

French photographer Franck Bohbot focuses his artistic attention on public spaces and urban landscapes. Rooted in his fascination with cinematographic iconography, his work looks at the relationship between the individual and the architecture around us. His main subjects are public spaces such as swimming pools, basketball courts, libraries and cinemas – but all empty, abandoned or deserted of the people that give life to these places.

The images featured here are from his on-going series, Cinema – photographs of movie theatres built in the US during the Golden Age of Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s.
