Heather Barnes says, "I am drawn to shapes, lines and textures made by light and shadow, and the stories they tell.
Although I’ve always had a camera in hand documenting family, I didn’t really start to see and make art until about three years ago. I prefer to shoot in black and white, except for sunrises and sunsets, or when the light decides for me that it should be in color."

Slim Blanks says, "My career has three distinct orbits. One consists of commercial art and the related technical skills. The second consists of the traditional studio arts. In the middle, where the two orbits cross over to make a third, is where I work. I am not commercial or fine art studio. I am a blending of the two. And my approach to my work, reflects it.
If I was going to define my work I might use words like intimate, temporary, fragile, in flux, ephemeral and perhaps, uncomfortable or challenging.The more you view the work, the more it is exposed to the elements, the faster it will change: fall apart, dissolve, fade or melt. It is not designed to be shown outside of a defied, small window of time. Certainly never is it intended to be preserved. I understand the conservation and archival process. I just choose to deliberately go against them as you need to understand the rules to break the rules."

Frank Lynch grew up in Dublin, Ireland where he studied graphic design. After spending several years living in Germany and Israel he has now settled in Brig, Switzerland.
Frank has always been interested in photography but only really became passionate in the art when he started shooting black and white and developing photos in his own darkroom.
Frank enjoys travelling off the beaten track and taking photographs of the people he meets along the way, finding the interaction that takes place between photographer and subject a rewarding and uplifting experience. The camera helps to break down the barriers between people who are, in effect, complete strangers . . .
