SW based photographer returns to National Portrait Gallery for third time this year as Taylor Wessing includes image in top 60
A contemporary portrait on show at the National Portrait Gallery from 11 November and photographed by Anita Corbin of Somerset based Corbin O’Grady Studio has been selected as one of 60 portraits out of 6000 images submitted for the prestigious international Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2010. With its substantial prize fund and a high profile exhibition and tour, the Prize continues the National Portrait Gallery’s long tradition of championing the work of the best portrait photographers.
The colour portrait is entitled: ‘Golfing sisters in the ladies’ locker room, Royal Mid-Surrey, April 2010’ Anita explains how she came to choose the subject and photograph the sisters in what was an “unexpected” setting. “I met the octogenarian sisters at my best friend’s father’s funeral at the beginning of this year, they were so full of life and vitality, I just knew I wanted to photograph them for the documentary section of my ongoing project ’First Women[i]’. I was inspired by their independence and wanted to capture their zest for life. ...

Somerset photographers awarded Somerset College contract for 10th consecutive year
With the focus on the start of a new decade, not many companies can claim to have kept the same client for ten years, but a business that has bucked that trend is Corbin O’Grady Studio. The Somerset-based photographers have been commissioned by the same client for the last decade and with the announcement of the award of the contract for the 2011/12 Somerset College Higher Education (HE) prospectus, they will continue to do so in 2010.
Photographing students in the twenty-first century brings different challenges and requires plenty of enthusiasm and creativity as well as an awareness of the necessary paperwork involved in dealing with young people. Photographer Anita Corbin explains, “Model release forms are now needed for all of the subjects in the photos, and individuals are often named in case studies. This is a relatively new trend and we have noticed that students are far more aware of the impact of photography on society and want to know how their pictures will be used. The College excels at involving the students in the prospectuses and gives the students prints as a thank you and payment for their time.”...

Somerset photographers create the Art of Science
Most people would struggle to name more than one or two living British scientists. Thanks to Somerset-based professional photographers Anita Corbin and John O’Grady this could be about to change.
