Christmas news and photography ideas to fill your festive stockings from Siobhan Doran Photography




Festive Greetings 

Firstly, I would like to thank all my clients and customers for your support throughout 2013. It has been a great year for me and my practice has gone from strength to strength. 
Just sharing some suggestions for Christmas presents or stocking fillers in this blog; all of which I am involved in (or indeed a new year treat as some items are on a longer lead-time). 
They include my limited edition 'Marilyn' light box inspired by my projection which was exhibited in Bologna, The Charles Dickens Museum catalogue, F\1 Publication that was produced for Foto Industria Bologna, Limited edition Savoy Book which includes a print and a signed and numbered book (limited number left) and a selection of my Ashridge prints.
  

  Marilyn Lightbox



This lightbox is 425 x 450mm in dimension and the photograph was taken during the Savoy Restoration. It is a photograph that is not included in my Savoy / Restoration Book and is available now in a limited edition light box series only – Edition 9 only +2 artist proofs (APs). The lightbox is constructed by John Jones www.johnjones.co.uk and is of the highest standard including a warm and cool white light option and dimming capabilities – I see this piece as a sculpture as it can be appreciated both as a piece of art and/or double up as a lamp and can be wall hung or freestanding as seen here. For more info including price and lead-time please contact me directly at Siobhan@siobhandoran.com

Artist Catalogue – Ghizlan el Glaoui


A wonderful artist catalogue showing the work of  Ghizlan el Glaoui who specializes in backlit portraits. The Catalogue was published by Glebe Garden Gallery. I was responsible for the production of this catalogue. In addition, I captured all   photography including the artwork, gallery interior and artist portrait. Catalogue and artwork is available www.glebegardengallery.com


The Charles Dickens Museum catalogue



A beautiful illustrated Souvenir Guide book just published by Charles Dickens Museum documenting the life of Charles Dickens. The Guide includes my photographs, which I captured as the museums refurbishment was coming to completion in December 2012.


F/1 Book – Published by Contrasto Books


The book accompanies the exhibition PHOTOS / Industry: a box set that collects in 17 small volumes the photographic works exhibited at the first Biennale dedicated to industrial photography, sponsored by MAST and edited by François Hébel, director of the Rencontres de la Photographie d'Arles. In each of the volumes are published 15 images selected from those on show for every single photographer, accompanied by an introduction to the artistic director and the author of a descriptive text that explains succinctly the context and rationale for the implementation of the work exposed. ISBN 978-88-6965-504-3. Available via the publisher at

In addition to this book of which my work Savoy / Restoration is one of the 15 volumes, I am showing the actual projection that was exhibited in Bologna on the front page of my web site for a limited time – see www.siobhandoran.com and enjoy!

 Regards,
 Siobhan.
