Charity Fundraising evening for Haiti

Our fundraising evening was a great success - we raised £5000 and everyone who attended appeared to enjoy themselves.  We would like to thank Barry Cawston, Soraya Schofield, David Cottingham and our own photographers who donated work for the auction, and actress Josie Lawrence our marvellous auctioneer.  Peter Medway, UK director of the International Medical Council , would also like us to thank all of you who attended or donated money through the event.

Capital Culture

Capital Culture represents a number of artists who share an aesthetic appreciation of the world. 

John Kenny.  John has visited the remotest corners of Africa to document tribes that continue to maintain their tribal heritage.  His portraits are testaments to proud histories increasingly threatened by the growth of urbanisation and climate change which in combination are putting huge strains on traditional ways of life.  John has recently returned from Ethiopia and Sudan where he searched for and found the girl who started it all off - Ancho of the Hamer in the Omo valley. 

David Zimmerman.  David's Desert series won him the Iris D'Or at the 2009 Sony World Photography awards.  His images are inspired both by the natural beauty of the South West of the United States, but also the casual damage inflicted on these environments by modern man.  His pictures are both technically and visually stunning, their beauty belying the very serious message each image contains. He is currently working on a series of portraits of individuals in Louisiana affected by the ongoing environmental impact of the oil spill.

James Sparshatt  specalises in Latin music and dance in particular from Cuba Snowscape I by James Sparshatt and Argentina.  His images convey rich emotional power and natural rhythmic exuberance. James was shortlisted for the Sony World Photography awards in 2009 and was a finalist in the World Photography Gala awards in the same year; he was a winner of the Center for Fine Art Photography International award in 2008.

Monica Denevan captures the spirit of the Burmese people in beautiful images.  The individuals live in remote regions far from the changes wrought by industrial development, with a traditional culture that remains linked to the past and the intangible spirit of their homeland.  Monica's images have won numerous awards including as a winner of the Center for Fine Art Photography's International exhibition award.

Ilona Karwinska Ilona's most recent project 'Polish Neon' explores the disappearing world of communist era neon graphics.  It has recently been exhibited in the Palace of Culture and Science, Warsaw, and the Architectural Foundation of Luxemburg. Ilona was named one of Warsaw's top creatives in 2007.

Rachael Dalzell is a young artist whose drawings and large oil paintings are inspired by the natural environment in regions renowned for the starkness of the landscape.
