The Collection

just wanted to take a little time to introduce you to a great website, The Collection at www.flackphoto.com which I personally have found to be an incredibly valuable resource during my recent representation project. The Flack Photo Collection is a digital archive of contemporary photography that is updated five times weekly.

"Flak Photo is an online photography channel that presents the work of artists, curators, bookmakers and photo organizations to a global audience of people who are passionate about visual culture. The site's main feature is The Collection, a digital archive of contemporary photographs which is updated five times weekly. Since launching in 2006, I've expanded my program to include a Galleries, Books, Features, and Motion section.

The project has roots in online publishing and arts exhibition and I frequently collaborate with presses, galleries, and museums to produce a continuous program of promotional “happenings”. In addition to the website, I publish a Facebook page, Twitter feed and Google+ profile and I interact with those audiences on a daily basis. I'm passionate about creative collaboration and am constantly energized by what’s happening in the online community, so producing Flak Photo gives me an outlet to satisfy that craving."

The Collection features a stunning range of contemporary with a diverse range of subject matter, news, galleries, features and books. There is even the opportunity for audiences to submit their own photographic work. It's a great platform building a community and a space were you can share and exhibit your work.

  1. It's defiantly a powerful image. It's from a really interesting series by Jesse Burke work dealing with themes related to vulnerability and identity.

    You can find more from the series here if you interested: http://www.jesseburke.com/clover#/1
