POST Photography & Film Studio

We’re thrilled to announce that the fabulous @jillianedelstein is giving our June artist talk at POST. Tuesday June 2nd / get your ticket 🎫 quick! London based Jillian Edelstein began working as a press photographer in Johannesburg, South Africa. She attended the LCC photojournalism course after graduating from The University of Cape Town, B.Soc.Sc (Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology Social Work). Finding that growing up white in apartheid South Africa led to feelings of ‘anger and guilt’, Edelstein states that ‘Photography was a way, for me, of channelling those emotions’, and that ‘At the time I believed that by pointing a camera at security police, or at Casspirs (armoured personnel carriers) cruising the townships, or by documenting clashes between protestors and riot police I might help to change the situation in our country’ (Edelstein, 2002). Edelstein decided to leave apartheid South Africa for London, England in 1985 in order to gain more editorial and educational experience. She studied Photojournalism at the London College of Printing in 1985, but did not complete the course as she started working for The Sunday Times in 1986 as a freelancer. She works and is passionate about portrait as well as documentary photography - her images have appeared internationally in publications including The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, The FT Weekend Magazine, Vanity Fair, Interview, Vogue, Port, The Guardian Weekend, The Sunday Times Magazine, Time, Fortune, Forbes, GQ and Esquire. She has also received numerous awards for her work including a Visa d’Or from the Perpignan International Festival of Photojournalism, the John Kobal Book Award and The Taylor Wessing Portrait Award.

I’m reading some of my poems tonight based around art and images at @post_creatives ‘living pictures’ event alongside creatives in their fields @tomlovelacestudio and @phyllipa_ tickets available through their website

Experience an evening of photography interpretation with a Living Pictures performance this Saturday 9th May!🩰 Living Pictures is an evening of poetry, music and dance that reimagines how we encounter the photographic image. Inspired by the research of artist Tom Lovelace, the event explores how photography can be “opened” through live, performative approaches - shifting it from a fixed object into an active and unstable material. Presented in collaboration with @photoworks_uk and aligned with their P5 Photo-Poetry Pamphlet Series, Living Pictures brings together three artists - @ellasadieog , @phyllipa_ & @tomlovelacestudio - exploring these intersections through spoken word, music and movement. Music in reel by @phyllipa_ Grab your tickets for this exciting evening from the link in the bio🔗

Living Pictures with Ella Sadie Guthrie, Phyllipa Scammell & Tom Lovelace Living Pictures is an evening of poetry, music and dance that reimagines how we encounter the photographic image. Presented in collaboration with @post_creatives and aligned with our P5 Photo-Poetry Pamphlet Series, Living Pictures brings together Ella Sadie Guthrie, Phyllipa Scammell & Tom Lovelace. The artists will explore these intersections through spoken word, music and movement. At its core, Living Pictures is an invitation to move beyond passive viewing and into a more dynamic encounter with images. Expect moments of interruption, resonance and surprise, where photographs are not simply seen, but experienced. Find out more and get your tickets via the link in bio.

It’s been a full-on start to the year, so much new work on the way. Kicking things off with this character of course, @officialfatboyslim A new generation of portraits landing soon. HMU @mrfacemakeup Shot at @post_creatives studio
