New Artist Challenge - Alex Holland

January 25th, 2014
@kali66 I was looking for night time and perspective city scenes and found Alex Holland, he was born in Yorkshire, UK, in 1982. After graduating in 2004 with an MSci in Physics from Imperial College London, he pursued his passion and embarked on a freelance career in photography. Since 2004 he has held many successful exhibitions, is regularly published internationally and has built up one of the most revered collections of contemporary London.
He is currently working on photographing European capitals, with London representing his finest collection spanning nine years work. To capture atmospheric images of well-known locations from an original and fresh perspective he often photographs between sunset and sunrise.

Tag your entries ac-Holland

The challenge will run from Saturday 25th January until Sunday 9th Feb, only photos taken during this period will be considered for voting the following week.

I hope this will be lots of fun, the challenge is open to everyone to have a go.

I fancy this challenge too.
January 25th, 2014
Thanks Kali
January 25th, 2014
Damn - I took something last night that would fit this - however, I'm undoubtedly going to have a lot of opportunity this week.
January 25th, 2014
This looks interesting and my last get-pushed challenge was a night shot. If I get a chance this week I am going to try this one.
January 25th, 2014
@kali66 please add me to the list. Thank you.
January 25th, 2014
@kali66 @lesleyallen looks like fun! Thanks!
January 25th, 2014
Beautiful photos by Mr. Holland and definitely out of my comfort zone! Still. this would be a good learning experience--I've tried very few night shots or city-scapes.
January 25th, 2014
Interesting! Too bad I'm not going to Astoria this week, the Astoria column would be perfect for this challenge!
January 25th, 2014
This is nice! I just noticed he has taken some shots in Helsinki as well, it's going to be fun reproducing them.
January 25th, 2014
Hmmm... Dayton isn't much of a city for impressive scenes, but I'll see what I can do. :-)
January 25th, 2014
Oh, and please keep me on the list to be notified of the next Artist Challenge. Thank you!
January 25th, 2014
Please add me to the artist challenge list. This one looks fun! Can't wait to see all the entries!
January 25th, 2014
why not it sounds great ...
January 25th, 2014
Humm...night shot of saguaros might be tough, but I'll give it a shot. Please add me to the list for artist challenges. Thanx!
January 26th, 2014
@polarvrtx @steveh @blueberry1222 @anazad511 @panic_c_button have added you to the list :) have fun
January 26th, 2014
@kali66 - keep me ob the liste, please. thank you.
January 26th, 2014
Sue
Yes, keep me on the list please
January 26th, 2014
Could you add me to the artist challenge list, please?
January 26th, 2014
Shouldn't be too difficult for me to take part in this one :-)
January 28th, 2014
@kali66 @lesleyallen Don't the artist challenges usually run for two weeks? I find only 1 week being difficult to do research, capture images and edit. By the way, the best place I've found for a broad array of Alex Holland pics is directly on his http://www.alexfineart.com web site.
January 28th, 2014
@krisztinalacz yes I have added you
January 28th, 2014
closing 2nd February! not January @mikegifford
Lesley if you feel there are not enough entries you can extend it , but make sure you make a new reminder thread to let everybody know or they may not see this.
January 28th, 2014
@kali66 Yes, Lesley has it running from Saturday 25th January until Sunday 2nd Feb, only a week.

Hmmm could be a problem this one. Would a shot of my local village be admissible? Not going into London in the near future! I might skip this one, but keep me on the list for the next one please.
January 28th, 2014
@mikegifford @kali66 @sioux I have extended it to the 9th Feb, I have a lot on at the moment so that date suits me better! No it doesn't have to be of London just in the style of Alex Holland.
January 28th, 2014
Sue
Oh great, I will see what I can come up with then. Thanks heaps
January 29th, 2014
@lesleyallen @kali66 @sioux
