Longing to get out and explore, @stephkellynz says, “Gosh I miss travel. I am dreaming of getting back on a plane and even the terrible instant coffee in a cup too small. So, while we are grounded, I’ve selected artworks dedicated to some of my favourite places around the world. The art captures the excitement, vibrancy, suspense, sights, flavours, experiences and daily life.”

6/6 Drawing to a close our first #FridayFeature with darkroom Master @richardheeps and the wonderful @bleachboxphotographygallery as part of our second Affordable Online Art Fair, we asked him what he has in store for 2021:
.
“All projects are ongoing, there is not a sense of one finishing and one starting, it’s a constant evolution. There’s a couple of series off shoots that I am working on. One the East Coast, looking at my images from the East Coast of America and pairing them with images of the East Coast of England. I am working on a series with a working title of On the Road, where I am looking at my American Road Trips with a different approach twenty years later. In this series the road is the central theme, the image within the film has a cinematic quality to it. I think this has been inspired by being restricted to my home, by not being able to travel, looking back at past journeys with fresh eyes. I am also working on a new book which is a big project as I am editing from thirty years of work. And after a year break Cambridge Open Studio is bound to be buzzing this year, I will be taking part and looking forward to visiting my fellow participants. It will be a great event for staycationers to do something different whilst visiting Cambridge.”
.
Please join us in giving a massive thanks to Richard and the lovely Bleach Box team for today’s dreamy #instagramtakeover. Perfectly indulgent for keen photographers and those who enjoy a trip down the old road to Déjà Vu alike! It’s certainly got us inspired to dig out our film cameras and ditch the digital. If you’ve liked what you’ve seen and want to bring a bit of artwork that celebrates the analogue into your home, head to the link in our bio to be one of the first to shop all of today’s featured photographs and photograms in The Affordable Online Art Fair.

5/6 #InstagramTakeover with @richardheeps from @bleachboxphotographygallery
.
Richard Heeps and Natasha Heidler, began collaborating by experimenting in their Cambridge darkroom, in reaction to the discontinuation of their favourite film. They were able to create their own dichromatic technique, due to their unique equipment - which was gathered when digital took over, leading to labs and educational institutions giving theirs away. The result is something which is neither a straightforward photograph, nor photogram. Since 2014 they have released the Vinyl, Stamp and Tape Collections. These representations of their personal past combined with the mesmerising effects of the shapes, details and colours have joined art collections all over the world.
.
“I continue to work with a number of creatives in Cambridge who support my production in a number of ways, they have helped me keep things moving this year. Instagram has kept me engaged with other creatives around the world and has produced a number of collaborations.”

4/6 Behind the scenes #InstagramTakeover with @richardheeps from @bleachboxphotographygallery
.
Some seriously satisfying behind the scenes shots here. Now let’s let Richard tell us more about his process and subject matter:
.
“My key themes are a sense of place, a journey, leapfrogging time where the future and the past are blurred. The pictures are not individual, they are a set all telling a story. Colour is very important to the work and it is probably my signature. I have always used colour to seduce the audience, to draw them in.
I cross over between, classical, pop art and conceptual but my use of colour ties them all to me. While my subject matter varies, but there is always a link from one picture to another. I was drawn to photography as I used to draw and paint from photographs, in studying photographs I became passionate about the medium and their place in capturing a moment in time, in preserving the past, while I may not typically be a documentary photographer, every photograph is essentially a documentary.”

Over to you Richard, we can’t wait to find out more about your traditional printing techniques:
.
“I am a film-based photographer, I use vintage analogue cameras. I have my own colour darkroom to make my prints. I consider myself to have three studios, the external studio wherever that may be. I have the darkroom where I make my prints and my home studio where I do the post-production, where they are framed and finished. I have always wanted to the work to be accessible and affordable without compromising quality and doing it all in house, I am in control of each step to achieve that. There is a long process between taking the picture and bringing it to market.”

1/6 To kick off the Affordable Online Art Fair we’re introducing a new series of #FridayFeatures where we’ll ask a different artist to take over our feed every Friday throughout the month-long digital edition. To make sure that we get things started with a bang, we’re thrilled to hand over the feed today to a master of lens-based photography, @richardheeps from @bleachboxphotographygallery.
.
Richard’s distinctive photographic style pushes the limits of film photography, experimenting with traditional printing techniques without the need for digital manipulation, from his Cambridge-based darkroom. Known for his cool, descriptive interiors, classic americana still life and landscape photography, his true love of his subject matter really shines through in his sophisticated, seductive and highly saturated photographic work. You can find all the works featured today and many more by Richard in the Affordable Online Art Fair until 3 May or simply tap the images as they appear in feed to shop direct.
.
Richard, along with photographer Natasha Heidler, founded Bleach Box Photography Gallery in 2007 with the aim to show powerful images created without digital editing. When the gallery took part in their first Affordable Art Fair at our Battersea Autumn event, they were the only dedicated photography gallery and from that success they’ve followed our fairs around the world opening up a new market of photography collectors! The gallery’s impressive roster of fine art photographers includes the likes of Samuel Field and Martin Parker so definitely give their gallery viewing room a visit today to be one of the first to snap up their limited edition photographic prints.
