Some of my work will be on show at the 23rd Annual Exhibition organised by London Independent Photography. The featured images, from a series I am currently working on – Unreal City – document aspects of life in the heart of the financial district of the City. Work is selected by an independent panel of industry professionals and the exhibition runs from 18th- 29th October at the Strand Gallery, London.

I have now started a blog entitled model landscape to record my observations of the King’s Cross redevelopment scheme for the London Villages Project. I will be adding to the blog on a regular basis until the end of the project in March next year.

Several images from my Life Goes On series have been selected for a show at Art Jericho in Oxford. The exhibition, called Gardens of Oxford and Oxfordshire, runs from 25th August to 17th September.
Press release from Art Jericho about the Gardens of Oxford exhibition:
”This exhibition began with invitations to people to submit images linked to the Garden theme. And here you have the result….
From the Garden of Eden onwards, gardens have carried a powerful metaphorical freight. More than just enclosed growing spaces, they reflect the human world and its preoccupations. Just as gardens have traditionally provided space for meditation and for the inner life, so many of these images offer such metaphors.
None of the exhibitors are professional photographers, but all the exhibitors are fascinated by image-making.
You will see a wide range of photographic techniques, from darkroom work to digital capture, including experiments with various effects, such as the sepia print, the fish-eye lens, close-up details, and more. There are straight-forward “well-seen” images, quirky angles, layered effects, and even experiments with the form of the prints, moving away from standard sizes & shapes.
Some of the gardens shown you will recognise, others are private. On the whole, the photographers have not been interested in a glossy and glamorised approach, such as might appear in a weekend supplement. Rather they are interested in conveying emotions: the awe and fascination evoked by the natural world, or else gardens images as a way of looking at human psychology. Thus images of gardens become portraits, even self-portraits. Some of the images are windows into our feelings of nostalgia, others celebrate our connection with nature, our imaginative interventions. Certain shared motifs emerged – shadows, water, overgrown spaces.
Above all, there is a shining enthusiasm shared by the exhibitors and, we hope, by those who come to view.”

Work on my Model Landscape series continues and I now have quite a collection of images to sort through. A selection can be seen on the projects page.

I have just started working on a new set of images for the London Villages Project, organised by London Independent Photography. The project brief is to provide an individual interpretation of what constitutes a London village – an area, community or corner of London which is defined by its own particular or unique character. My work will be centred on the King’s Cross redevelopment scheme and the wider implications it may have on the surrounding area. The working title for the series is Model Landscape – a reference to the idealised, orderly view of the world presented in the artists’ impressions which offers a stark contrast to the environment being redeveloped. The project will run for one year and an exhibition is planned at the end of it.

My london muse blog has had a mention in the Londonist’s Best of the London Blogs. Hailed as ‘Best New Discovery of the Week’...
“This new site is ostensibly a photoblog of the capital, but Ingrid’s descriptions and eye for historical connections make this a smashing all-rounder. Drawing inspiration from literature and painting, she even manages to make the over-familiar St Paul’s a subject of wonder once again. Maryon Park in Charlton is also well-trodden ground for London writers, thanks to its connections with Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1966 film Blow Up. Ingrid’s photo’s explore key moments from that cult classic, with impressive sense of place and a certain air of menace. Top stuff.”
