NEWSLETTER - August 2008



Where would you go for images of pan fried Atlantic cod tongue? How about a gold ring in hydrochloric acid (dilute)? Or the currency of the Republic of Texas? You are unlikely to find these images with any agencies, but if no-one has the image, we have photographers worldwide happy to shoot on spec, as these examples (and many more) show. If you can't find it in our search database, try the Picture Search service - you may be amazed!

The Church of the Virgen del Consuelo , Altea , Alicante , Spain stock photo
Seasoned photographer Rod Jones is a native of the UK, but has lived in the American mid-west and California, as well as on the European mainland. He has travelled extensively in Europe, the USA and Canada, and has a collection of more than 10,000 stock photographs covering such themes as land-, sea- and town-scapes, nighttime, people, humour and weather.

He has recently moved from the UK to south-west France, and is available for assignments in France and Western Europe. He has just returned from the French Alps in Haute-Savoie and managed to include a trip to CERN just prior to the ‘Large Hadron Collider’ (LHC) coming into service in August.

He has customers in the areas of publishing, advertising and web-design, and has also provided a ‘photo-finder’ service, tracking down aerial and satellite images of (for example) the Amazon rainforest, and also astronomical objects like star-fields, nebulae and galaxies.

Images can change the world -- the way we think, speak, and act.

To further this personal vision, Conservation Photographer and writer Noah Jackson will be working in sensitive forest communities in Southeast Asia for the next year. He specializes in documenting environmental issues and themes involving social justice within and on the boundaries of forests.

As a former Fulbright Scholar (Sarawak, Malaysia), Peace Corps Volunteer (Philippines), National Geographic guide (Tim Laman) and forestry consultant (Indonesia), he has contacts throughout Southeast Asia and is especially adept to working in dangerous situations. He has recently begun a series of photographic children's books that highlight issues surrounding forest culture.

New work involves working with forest communities in Borneo, partnerships with conservation organizations, and producing photo essays for conservation oriented foundations, non-profits, and clients.

Noah is available for assignments and special projects throughout Asia. His work is collected widely. To find out more, or take advantage of his current August Forest Print Sale, please check out his new website. Noah will also be leading a BORNEO workshop in early 2009. Please sign up for his mailing list, download free images, read essays and listen to sounds from the forest on the hope in light website!

If you publish history books for children you really will be interested in the library of pictures of Martyn Chillmaid taken with the help of museums and re-enactment groups that are keen to show their chosen periods of history accurately. People bring history to life in a way that drawings and artifacts rarely can for primary children.

Periods covered are National Curriculum subjects - Romans, Saxons & Vikings, Tudors, Victorians and 1940's. In addition Martyn has selection on life during the English Civil War.

You can see many more of his pictures at

www.photographersdirect.com/martynchillmaid

which cover a wide range of subjects but all with an educational angle.
