Randal Ford
Photographer Randal Ford has elevated his art to soaring heights by applying a minimalist approach to enhance the sophistication of an image. By focusing on the details of his animal subjects, the American artist produces striking images that highlight their characteristic features.
Ford is most famous for his photographs of animals in the studio. They are situated under lights and set against a backdrop so Ford can produce a stunning contrast that could not be captured with a candid shot. He also plays with concepts of color contrasts, such as placing a black rooster against a solid black background or a black and white bull set against a soft gray. He selects each background so that the animal is the sole focal point of an image, allowing for no distractions.
Though he favors animals as subjects, Ford’s photography also involves portraits of people. He has an almost mystical talent for portraying the humanity of his subjects, highlighting the qualities of a person that extend beyond the readily viewable content of a photograph.
He supports a number of organizations dedicated to the well-being and conservation of animals, both wild and domestic. He contributes his time and talent to organizations such as Project Survival’s Cat Haven, which concentrates on preserving wild cats through education and relocation efforts. The proceeds from his book Good Dog benefit Emancipet, an organization committed to making veterinary care accessible and affordable to everyone with a pet.
Ford continues to work out of his studio in Austin, Texas, where he focuses on his photography and conservation advocacy.

The Elucidation: Figurative Monochrome Duratran Print on LED Illuminated Panel
By Nick Simpson
Located in Hudson, NY
Duratran print on LED illuminated panel
17 x 15 x 2 inches overall
Image size: 10 x 8 inches
This antique style figurative photograph was created by London based photographer, Nick Simpson, in 2012. Here, a seated figure clad only in a peculiar headdress poses for the camera. The figure clutches a skull to their chest, and rope is wound loosely around their ankles. Mysterious masks and other props litter the background.
Simpson includes a slight patina around the sepia toned photograph's edge to accentuate its antique inspired quality. The Duratran print is paired with a dark wood frame and is mounted on LED illuminated panel attached to a power cord.
About the work:
London based artist, Nick Simpson, is celebrated for his fictional series entitled The Bumforth Man Collection. The series consists of archival prints inspired by a mythical story concerning a quantity of glass photographic plates discovered in an old oak chest on the Bumforth Manor estate in rural England, the family home of the Gascoigne-Simpson's for over nine generations. These plates, which had laid gathering dust for over a hundred years, were supposedly the work of Simpson’s great grandfather, Samuel Heracles Gascoigne-Simpson, a disciple of William Henry Fox Talbot, commonly considered to be the father of photography. To bring this story to life, Simpson starts by building a set, authentically styled and dressed to re-create the Victorian photographic salons of the late 1900s. This becomes the stage upon which he places his eclectic choice of models and actors, all following his original tight narrative to create a richly detailed tableau. The scene is then captured in a single sitting using an original 1867 'Petzval' lens mounted on a mahogany plate camera...
