Points of view

“€œI have always been fascinated by photography produced by women,” says Damien Poulain, the designer and art director behind POV FEMALE (Oodee), a limited-edition monograph of the work of five London-based female photographers. Future editions will feature female photographers from Paris, Tokyo and New York, each limited to 100 copies (£12) and 20 limited edition bookcases, including signed copies of all five monographs and an archival-quality print from each photographer (£300).

This London issue of POV FEMALE features:

Bronwen Parker-Rhodes

A graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art, Bronwen has made films for Vivienne Westwood and Rihanna, among others.  Her photography is a subjective glimpse into individual lives through routine.  “€˜Through filming I discover a little of the world through someone else’s eyes and hopefully reveal that world to others.”

Briony Campbell

Briony’€™s photographs seem to intrude on a moment, they take you fully inside.  The Dad Project€™ –  “work in progress and I hope it always will be”€™ – is a photographic journal and coping mechanism for her father’s terminal illness.  Now she launches her achingly personal monograph A Year On€™.

Rasha Kahil

Born in Beirut, Lebanon, Rasha’s photography experiments with the meaning behind the female body: ‘The body becomes a means for investigating displacement, social identity and its manifestation through everyday performance’.  Often exploring the sexualised female body and the gaze, she also deals in self-portraiture to appropriate spaces for herself and for her art.

Charlotte Player

Gypsy Gold is a photographic documentation of the relationship between gypsies and their horses.  The proud bond that even the youngest of the community display is testament to their traditional rituals and provides a fascination for Player and a leitmotif for her work.

Tara Darby

Tara is a prolific and interdisciplinary photographer: she has worked for Aubin and Wills, Levis, Timberland, Adidas, among others, contributed to such publications as AnOther, Vogue, W magazine, The Independent and has collaborated on two books with art director David James.  The common denominator is her personal approach that imbues her images with warmth and hope.
