Crumple Pop’s ‘Revealer’ and ‘Metal’ , review by Steve Douglas

zak — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 22:32:14 +0000

Another great review from Ken Stone Website:

“Crumple Pop must have an ambitious staff as for the last couple of years they have been regularly producing interesting and useful plug ins for Final Cut Pro and Motion.”

Judith Lyons @ Amateur Photographer

zak — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 09:41:06 +0000

Judith Lyons creates her ethereal images entirely in the darkroom by shining the enlarger light through flowers. Gemma Padley finds out
what she does and explores an alternative technique using a scanner.

Photographer Judith Lyons

zak — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 16:39:15 +0000

I was privileged to be teaching this year amazing Photographer “Judith Lyons”. She has some amazing inspirational work on her website.
This is what she says about herself:
Judith Lyons is a photographic artist. A graduate of both the London College of Communication and Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design, for the past two years she has been working exclusively with camera-less methods of photographic image production. Her work, which often combines historic analogue and contemporary digital technologies, displays an engagement with the natural world and has been exhibited nationally in institutions and galleries. Examples of her work can be seen at www.judithlyonsphotography.co.uk
