Heather Morton by Robert lansdale

Ms Morton is a Toronto based Art Buyer. “Art Buying refers to the act of securing still imagery for commercial use. In a nutshell, she helps advertising agencies and design firms find the right photographer or illustrator for their concept and manages the process of producing that image.
“The Art Buyer fulfills two important but different functions: On one hand, it is a creative role,  collaborating with the creative team to source the right creative supplier (it takes a keen interpretive eye combined with a comprehensive knowledge of current photography and illustration trends and styles). In a completely different way, an Art Buyer is also a Project Manager.” Continue reading →

Amanda Rataj – Wednesday May 18th 2011

Posted on April 19, 2011 by Robert

NEXT TORONTO MEETING – Wednesday, May 18th, 2011
Amanda Rataj: The Albumen Printing Process. Amanda is a Toronto-based artist and writer whose practice is concerned with the transitory and ephemeral nature of people & things. Looking to antiquated photographic technology and material processes to articulate these themes, her work explores the boundaries of the photographic print. Albumen prints from the late 1800s are frequently found today at photographic fairs and image and paper shows. In its day, the process consumed more eggs than “Breakfast in America”. Learn more about Amanda by clicking these links to visit Flickr, her blog, or her web site.
