April 1st saw the launch of Adore Noir a new quarterly magazine dedicated to Fine Art BW photography. Each issue showcases the work of six photographers along with an interview with each of them. The premier issue features 'Reasons for attendance' on the cover and an inside spread which spans a generous thirteen pages.
Adore Noir is entirely digital and has been designed to be readable on all the latest digital devices as well as pc and mac computers. It can be downloaded directly from the magazine’s web site at www.adorenoir.com/download There is also a free sample available on this page which includes the feature on my work as well as an excellent article on the creative mind by Sandra Djak Kovacs.
The April issue of After Capture magazine also has an article on my work and an interview with me written by the excellent Paul Slaughter, well-known for his iconic photographs of the legends of Jazz music.
