Family Portrait Series, Miranda Hopkins - Artist of the Week

Miranda's aim in this series was to create a series that felt like it could have been taken 60+ years ago, to take us back to a time long since past. To do this she worked with 35mm black and white film, and you can see selected images from the series here. Visit Miranda's profile on the Shed Gallery to see more of her work, and please do feedback, by commenting on here, to let her know what you think!

Artist of the Week: Miranda Hopkins

This week, we are celebrating Miranda Hopkins as our Artist of the Week! Miranda's passion for photography goes all the way back to her childhood, and she is particularly interested in an image's ability to convey a more complex message than the spoken word.  Having studied A-level photography, and then Fashion & Advertising Photography at degree level, Miranda's work now focuses on portraiture, and telling people's stories through their portraits.


As with many of our Shed Creatives, Miranda is available for private commissions. You can see more of her work in the Shed Gallery, order prints, and read more about her profile. We'll be highlighting more of Miranda's work throughout the week, but do feel free to comment on the images below and let her know your feedback on her work!

Guest-blog by Moyal Paul, Artist of the Week

I have just got back from a fantastic coast to coast trip across the USA, touching on seven major cities and a vastness and variety of scenery that was hard to take in - from the endless flat prairie pastures of the midwest to the forests and golden Aspens of the Rockies and the incredible earth shapes and colours of the desert lands in Colorado and Arizona. We even flew along the Grand Canyon in a small plane! Now I have nearly 1000 photographs to process. Which will I keep? Which image will have captured not just the "picture outside the window" but the mood and the "feel" of the moment? Actually, despite the vastness and the beauty all around us, the images I most recall are the more homely ones - people staggering wearily off the sleeper train from Chicago in Denver, waiting in the huge vaulted station in Los Angeles with people on mobile phones and students asleep on the benches, light through arches, myriads of reflections captured in the impersonal glass windows of huge skyscrapers. 


I could have bought calendars full of better photographs that I could ever take of most of the beautiful scenery we saw but I want more than that. I want my photographs to give you a glimpse of a particular moment and if you can understand why I chose that image to save, then I will have succeeded..
