Oh Pammy. 2012

Pamela Anderson © Rachel Louise Brown. 2011

Whilst on assignment for British Vogue I took these shots of Pamela Anderson. Being completely fascinated with body language they've always stuck in my mind. Imagine 20 photographers, all male apart from me, crowded around her, hustling and bustling, shouting her name. It was like being in a boxing ring trying to keep my place. Flashes going off every mili second. Pamela rotating between composure and resembling a rabbit in headlights. It was how I imagine hell to be... but the shot had to be taken. Here are my two. The first shows Pammy being interviewed by a very attractive, charming male interviewer. All of her attention was on him. Then she turned to me for a second. 'Pamela, can I take your image for Vogue' I said. 'If you must' she scoffed. One flash and I was pushed out of the lions den. Spot the difference!

'She Became' 2011

This body of work was born over the summer whilst teaching in NYC. Having not been in the city for a any lengthy period of time, during the last two years of my MA, I felt detached and lonely. A friend gave me a Mamiya RZ, the tool I thought I no longer had access to. To overcome the distance I was experiencing, I began to photograph the females who came into my life. Brief encounters and fleeting friendships that were enacted upon for my lens. This is a work in progress..

Gallery Representation

The wonderful team from Opus Art in Newcastle flew down to London to have a gander at my work. I have since signed a one year contract with them. I am very excited to see what happens.....

I will be part of their group show Fresh Cream in October 2011 with a Solo show in next years schedule

Two prints from 'The Boarding School' series to be auctioned at the Hotshoe Gallery Fundraiser for Japan

For JapanA sale of photographic prints for and about Japan by established and emerging photographers. All proceeds go to Architecture for Humanity’s post tsunami reconstruction projects.

Viewing 2–5 August 2011
Print sale Friday 5 August 18.00–21.00

Architecture for Humanity London and Hotshoe Gallery are hosting a charity print sale & auction to raise funds for the long term reconstruction in the tsunami devastated north east region of Japan. Photographs were submitted following an open call for images. The brief was to evoke and celebrate Japanese culture. The response was overwhelming with over 500 entries from both established and emerging photographers from all around the world.

100 photographs were selected. They will be on show from 2nd August and will go up for auction at Hotshoe Gallery 5th August from 6pm. All the photographs are C-type prints on Fuji Crystal Archive paper. They come framed and are 30x40cm. The starting donation will be £50. There will be an opportunity to place higher bids for the prints.

The proceeds will go to Architecture for Humanity’s Japan reconstruction programme working on the ground in Sendai. Projects include an orphanage, an art and music therapy centre, and an ‘urban acupuncture’ initiative to help get small businesses back on their feet as a way to kick start local economic recovery. On the drawing board is also a small scale fishing village – rebuilding along the coastline is not included in the Japanese government’s 10 year plan. The Sendai operation is being headed up by a team of top Japanese architects and overseen by the charity’s founder, Cameron Sinclair.

As well as the exhibition there will be a video sent from the team on the ground in Sendai.

A ‘for Japan’ poster will also be for sale.
