Photo-Forum Thursday 10 June
Jacobs Pro Lounge 6pm prompt start until 8pm.

At the May Photo-Forum we had two great shows from Ant Upton and Sarah Lee.

On Thursday 10 June we will have Irina Kalashnikova and Tal Cohen
showing their work. We’re going to start the evening at 6:00 prompt
with our much delayed snowy weather slide show and that’ll be followed
by our British election 2010 slide show. If you have pictures for
either show then please send jpeg files to: photoforumuk@gmail.com as
soon as possible and by 9pm Tuesday 8th June at the latest.

Snow pictures need to be from this last winter and for the election
slide show we’d like anything connected to the election, not just the
mainstream events but local ones, meetings, leafleting, protests,
jokes and stunts - anything at all that has to do with the election
and the period immediately following up to the State Opening last
Tuesday.

Russian photographer Irina Kalashnikova will be showing work from her
two trips to North Korea in 2008 and 2009. Irina has been working as
photographer since graduating from the London College of Printing in
2006. Irina's website is www.irinakalashnikova.com
Recent exhibitions and awards:
The British Press Photographers Year 2009 – show at the National
Theatre, London;
The National Union of Journalists’ “Stand Up For Photojournalism 2009”;
‘The North Koreans’ slideshow presentation in Foreign Correspondents
Club, Beijing, China (August 2009); New York PhotoFestival by Trolley

rooms, Derby, UK (March 2009);Colour Photography Award (2007)

Tal Cohen will be showing his work and talking about going from
photographer to photo editor. Tal has been working as a press
photographer in Israel and the West Bank since 1992. From 2001 until
2005 Tal was working for the French Press Agency (AFP), as their
photographer in Tel Aviv. He then relocated to London in 2008 and
after two years working as a freelance photographer in the UK he was
appointed by Israel’s oldest daily newspaper “Haaretz” to the role of
Chief Photo Editor. Tal's website is www.talcohen.net

As always we'll raffle prints from the photographers to help fund
Photo-Forum. The raffle pays for food in the pub after the show (so
please come along!) with donations to good causes when there’s any
left over. The Photo-Forum raffle is the cheapest ever way to buy a
print from one of today’s leading photographers, please support it and
perhaps win some great work for just a few pounds.

Apple Ipad launch:
Jacobs Pro-lounge - Thursday 3rd June 11-5pm


Join us at Jacobs Pro Lounge in New Oxford Street for a first look at Apple's iPad and find out how it could impact the way you interact with your photographs.

The gorgeous 9.7-inch iPad display shows off your photos in vivd colour with excellent brightness and contrast. With the built-in Photos app, you can see and touch your photos in intuitive new ways - tap, pinch and flick. Your photo albums appear as tidy little stacks you can pinch to preview, then tap a stack and the whole album opens up. From there you can scroll through thumbnails, taps to view full screen or flip through photos one at a time.

Additionally, the Apple App Store is teaming with photography-related applications and we'll show you the highlights to-date. Including apps for image manipulation, retouching, effects and colour correction.

Visit to Jacobs to get your hands on an iPad and you'll never look at your photos the same way again.
