The art of arrangement... photography & the still life tradition. An exhibition exploring the history of the photographic still life. Currently showing at Baths Holburne Museum until 7 May 2012.
It explores the many ways in which photographers have explored still life from the very start of photography in the early 19th century. Should be well worth checking out. More info available at

GavinHemporium mood boards.

For me the most exciting part of any new project whether it be a photo shoot for fashion or still life. A montage, drawing or a painting. Even an interior design project. The most exciting and rewarding part is the ideas stage. The time when your mind is working overtime, recalling and combing numerous influences, thoughts and inspirations to create something new and unique in response to the challenge of the project you've undertaken. This creative process may be best illustrated in the form of mood boards.
I love them !! To see some of my finished projects please view my on-line store at...............                      https://gavinhemporium.bigcartel.com

Vintage Deco magazine covers, Blanco y Negro & Para Ti

I've added a Vintage magazine cover from the 1930's  to the items I'm selling at the Gavin H Emporium. I have a collection of vintage covers that I will be adding to my store in the coming weeks. This cover of a beautiful deco skier is for the Spanish magazine Blanco y Negro. As the cover is delicate I'm selling it with a 16 x 20 inch mount so its ready to frame in a standard size frame.

A second cover has now been added it's title is Para Ti. I believe this one dates from the 1940's. Its a larger size measuring 11 1/2 inch x 8 1/2. Again because of its delicate condition I'm selling it mounted in a 20 inch x 16 inch mount. So it fits a standard size frame.  You can view the cover plus my limited edition prints at ............
