New Exhibition with Korinne Robertson

I'm pleased to announce that I will be exhibiting with the fantastic artist Korinne Robertson in November. The exhibition runs the entire month, and the opening reception is Wednesday, November 2 from 7-9pm. 

RUINS

Ruins is a new exhibition collaboration by two photographers; Sean Galbraith and Korinne Robertson. The exhibition is at the Steam Whistle Brewery, 255 Bremner Blvd, Toronto. The show runs from November 2 to November 30, with an opening reception on November 2 from 7pm-11pm.

The artists have a shared appreciation for forgotten and architecture, but approach the subject from very different perspectives. Sean, through traditional large format film presents the spaces as they are, with large prints that transport the viewer into the space to experience it for themselves. Korinne uses the spaces as a canvas into which she projects her imagination and human form to create a new narrative.

Traditional vs. digital. Documentary vs. surreal. The two bodies of work contrast and complement each other.

Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition, 2014

PhotoXplorers: Season 2?

Back in 2009, a TV show that I was part of, PhotoXplorers, made its debut on Bravo!Canada. It went on to air on various channels on 5 continents. 

We are now looking to make more episodes, and since Bravo doesn't show arts programming anymore, we are looking to crowdfund its production. 

If you're interesting in learning more about the project, and maybe helping out with the production costs (for perks!), please check out the campaign on Indiegogo.

I was happy to deliver a photo to a new client the other week. She has put up a blog post about it here: http://8footsix.com/2013/08/new-art-sean-galbraith-photography.html?m=1

Impossible: Instant Lab - Unboxing and First Use

I received an Impossible Instant Lab in the mail today (I was an early kickstarter contributor for the device). This is my little unboxing and first use video (I'd previously opened it up so that I could charge the battery, but that's it).

Overall, I'm pretty impressed with it. It does exactly what it says it will, and is really easy to operate.

New Pocket Book: GTMO: Camp X-ray

I recently attended a great book making workshop put on by Blurb that I found very inspiring. 

From this, I've made a new photography book from my Camp X-Ray, Guantanamo Bay visit. This book is in the style of a pocket book. Available here, the book is short, simple, and affordable. I like that this style of book is not made to be a regular "fine art" photography book... it is more humble than that. 

I hope you like it.

Ecuador from the Back Seat of a Taxi

#photog I was recently in Ecuador for a family visit. As the non-Spanish speaker, when traveling in cabs, I always rode in the back seat. This uncommon point of view for me (I almost always drive when in a car) inspired me to make a new series of photographs: Ecuador from the Back Seat of a Cab. All shot with my iPhone using Instagram.

Made it into a little book, too.

SNAP!

At tonight's SNAP! Photography auction to benefit the AIDS Committee of Toronto, I'm happy to say that my photo brought in $2100. All told the event raised well over $200,000.

The Artist Project

Wow, fantastic weekend at The Artist Project. Thanks to all who stopped by my both or listened to the photographers panel I was on with Richard Rhodes.

New exhibition with the DK Photo Group - STEEL - March 1-28

STEEL - a new photography exhibition by members of the DK Photo Group
Twist Gallery, 1100 Queen Street West, Toronto
March 1-28, 2012
Opening Reception: March 9, 7pm-10pm 

STEEL

For the better part of three hundred years steel has contributed to the development of the western world and formed a significant foundation for the wealth of nations. Towns, cities and regions have been built by the steel industry on several levels. The extraction of resources, its processing, the manufacturing of product and the recycling of the material has forged the fabric and social consciousness of many cultures.

With the significance of the steel industry in the forefront, the DK Photo Group's Russell Brohier, Sean Galbraith, Steve Jacobs, and Mathew Merrett pay homage to this engine of social development. The usual subject matter of the group is of abandoned spaces, lying derelict and as social artefacts is carried through in this exhibition. In these images are testimonials to the lives of individuals who work in the myriad of companies shaped by the steel industry. From the mining and processing of the natural resources which produce the steel, to manufacturing of automobiles and other goods which rely on steel, to the recycling of the material. These images are steeped with the meaning which the steel industry has, particularly for the North American culture and economy.

The Artist Project, March 1-4

It seems that I've completely forgotten to mention that I'm exhibiting at The Artist Project in Toronto this weekend. It takes place at the Queen Elizabeth Building at the CNE. Unfortunately, it isn't free. 

Beaverbrook Art Gallery

I'm incredibly flattered that 2 of my photographs (exclusively available through Eye Buy Art) are now part of the photography collection at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in New Brunswick, Canada.
