happy new year

We are starting 2023 with a splash of colour! Len will be sharing his Purple Haze project in our first Len’s Journal of the year. It is set to be an inspiring issue with a range of projects from different genres. We are looking forward to another exciting year of journals and books.

Reflecting back on 2022, we published four issues of our second volume of Len’s Journal and are so pleased we were able to feature the work of 16 photographic artists from a range of countries and all at different stages in their photographic journeys. We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our featured photographers for joining us on this journey. Please join with us in celebrating their work:

If you are missing any of these issues from your collection, we do have a limited number of copies left of each, head over to our publications page to see what is available.

We also launched two new books in 2022 which was a fantastic achievement for us and one we are celebrating as we move into the new year. Our books are printed to the highest quality, here in Australia.

Our Love Affair With Trees is a collaboration between Len Metcalf and Jodi Rose and is a beautiful celebration of trees. Len’s photographs of trees with Jodi’s dancers marry wonderfully with essays about the connection people feel to trees.

the unfolding is another collaborative work. This time with poet Kristyn Haywood. Kristyn has written hauntingly emotive poems in response to Len’s photographs of flowers. They are presented together to produce another gorgeous collection of work that is beautifully printed and bound.

There are more new books in the pipeline for 2023, so watch this space!

We would like to wish all of you a happy new year. We would also like to thank all of our subscribers and all who have purchased a book or joined Len on one of his workshops and those in Len’s Club, your support and enthusiasm for photography is appreciated and valued.
