Ruth Ansel

James Danziger posted about Ruth Ansel last week and shared images of Ms. Ansel's home -- giving an insight into how this legendary creative functions.
Ruth Ansel is the woman behind the design & art direction of some of the greatest photography books & editorials and has collaborated countless times with photography's greats.
Art does not exist in a vacuum and is not produced in a vacuum, so I also wanted to 'salute' Ruth Ansel perhaps not as a woman photographer, but as a a woman in photography.

Cara Phillips on Women Photographers - Part One

Cara Phillips blogged back in February about her desire for more female mentorship & inspiration, and she compiled a list of relevant women photographers. It's well worth a look because somehow a lot of these artists are indeed often overlooked.
Looking forward to Part Two!

Jane Tam

Today I blogged about photographer Jane Tam on my personal blog. It's a gushing review, but I think whatever your taste in photography is, her work is worth a look. Only 22 years old, I find her work engaging, mature and promising. Take a look here: www.janetam.com
