GRADUATE
PHOTOGRAPHY
ONLINE 2010

Each year as part of Graduate Photography Online we ask a number of professionals from the world of photography to review all the photographic work submitted and choose their favourites. We hope this makes an interesting introduction to the project as a whole.

Looking through the work submitted, any doubts I may have had about the future of photography - and young photographers who will be ready to rise to the challenge of our rapidly-changing visual world - have been safely laid to rest. I have been most impressed by the diversity of the work on show, from traditional photojournalism to fine arts abstraction and everything in between. All facets are represented and it is hugely encouraging to see new talent emerging through all of these disciplines.

Selected Photographers:

Deborah Coleman

Selector's Comment: Deborah Coleman conveys the sadness of loss powerfully in the tradition of classical photojournalism. Her pictures are honest and without frills. She brings us emotionally close to what she observes. Her pictures move us deeply, making us think about loss in our own life.

Katy Gallacher

Selector's Comment: Katy's work could be classified as landscape photography but it is far from traditional. She takes us on an impressionist walk through nature that is utterly personal. We observe what she has glimpsed. The resulting images are joyous and create for the viewer an echo of what the photographer has experienced.

Jade Gough

Selector's Comment: Jade's pictures are ephemeral. They have a dreamy quality and are a little bit mysterious. The colors are subtle and the images are seductive. We feel like intimate observers of private moments - without being intrusive. The pictures are gently floating in space-time.

Bartosz Nowicki

Selector's Comment: Documentary photography can be linear, telling a story with a beginning and an end. Or it can be more complex - addressing political thoughts and ideas. Bartosz Nowicki's work achieves it's import by using words and pictures, meshing images with sentences and using layout creatively. He provokes and forces us to pay attention to what he wants us to know.

Eleanor Whiteman

Selector's Comment: Tower Colliery reopened in defiance of the large scale pit closure programme under the Thatcher Government following the year long miners' strike of 1984-5. Tower is the last deep mine in South Wales and the only Colliery in Europe that is owned by its workers. Its closure in 2008 marks the end of an era of hardship and bitter struggle but ultimately it tells a story of the strength of community spirit. The objects left behind have a narrative of their own which provide a glimpse into its proud history.
