| One of the unique strengths of the Photographers Direct service is in finding outstanding cover images, whether for novels, music cds, magazines or corporate reports. As a researcher you may get a vague and wide ranging spec, and for these, image search technology can often prove unreliable and frustrating. At Photographers Direct our photographers get to read and interpret your spec, which results in outstanding successes in many cases. Here are some examples (with cut down specs): Our photographers know what images they have, and often if they do not have it a few will go out and shoot to fit the spec, adding even more variety and freshness to our collection. So, if you are having trouble finding images, why not give our Picture Search service a try? Photographers Direct - Fair Trade Photography. |

Entitled 'Yorkshire Through The Seasons', the exhibition comprises a selection of new images of the Yorkshire Dales, moors and coast taken by Mark over the past year. Mark, originally from Yorkshire, left to go to university and worked in IT for many years. He turned professional as a landscape and travel photographer in 2004 and moved back to Yorkshire in 2005.

This exhibition is the result of the first year of this project. The exhibition runs from 11-23 December at The Stairwell Gallery, Harrogate Library, Victoria Avenue, Harrogate, HG1 1EG.

Testaments of Faith is a travelling exhibition of 48 photographs. One purpose of its touring is to share some of the results of over 20 years of photographing the fast-disappearing relics of Manitoba's heritage: over 700 pioneer churches. Each image is a tangible record of a historical condition and, as such, one that will never be again. Collectively, the images are a visual reference to a part of history — and to works of art. They are landmarks on both a permanent spiritual landscape and a constantly changing physical one. Yet, Tyrrell Mendis' photographs are not just documentation of rotting wood and crumbling stone but an examination of the premise, the process and the project - in each instance different, in some instances unique, and in all instances significant. They are an attempt to capture — and preserve — the spirit of each site as a two-dimensional extrapolation of an abstract concept: the motivation for creating an expression of faith. Tyrrell's web site has several other images that include places of worship from around the world.
