Photographer Focus: Emily-Jane Robinson
This post took a while to make, mainly because Paul and I were fighting over which of Emily-Jane's photos to use in the feature. There were way too many interesting and unique photos to choose from, but we finally (kind of) came to this conclusion. Her photos are ultra-realistic in every way - life unaltered and in your face. Whether shocking, funny, or a mixture of both, her photos are definitely a trip. If you want to see more of her work, and believe us - you do, check out the links at the end of the post.

what makes a great photo When a photographer knows how to use and capture natural light, feeling and emotion without anything being set up, coerced or forced.
what makes a terrible photo The opposite, I guess. I'm not totally sure how to answer that. I hate tasteless cropping of images.
why do you love photography I can remember everything now.
do you do any other art? I make films, videos and installations involving a lot of different forms of media including sound. At certain times, I write.
