GangUp Magazine: Launch Details…..
February 23, 2010
At Garage we really believe in pushing others creative photography in as many different ways as we can, whether its through our courses, 1:1 training, internships, portfolio advice etc.
We also sponsor some individuals and collectives to help them achieve their goals through free equipment hire, studio hire and scanning/printing or technical advice. and have just started to sponsor a 3rd yr Degree student at Brighton University (more details soon) and provided free technical help and studio hire to an MA Student who is doing great studio work for those with Learning Difficulties.
One of the other projects we help sponsor is GangUp Magazine, founded by one of our in -house photographers Kevin Mason. We dont have any control over editorial content- but offer full use of the studio, our cameras and free lighting hire. Issue 1 of this bespoke magazine sold out within weeks of its release and the team are busy finalising Issue 2.
We are happy to support them as the team of 5 produce, pay for and cast all the shoots themselves and are getting some great editorial images and seem to be leading the way for Fashion Photography in Brighton. The magazine this issue has a guest photographer 18 yr old student Eleni Mettyear, as well as shoots by Kevin Mason, Louie Banks and Sam Hiscox, with concepts and styling from the other 2 founders Emma SandhamKing and Stevi Jelbart of Ophelia Fancy fame.
The next issue is scheduled to Launch at the end of March, and no doubt there will be another riotous party. If you want to keep up to date with them as they shoot then you can via their blog. Please be aware we dont have any editorial control, and all links may be Not Safe For Work
If you would like to learn how to shoot Fashion Editorial with Kevin Mason we have space on our next course- details of which can be found here.
