Fjord Photo

Well, so I’m a lit­tle late to game writ­ing about Fjord, but I have to check in on this one because I’m so excited to be a part of it. Fjord is a book project spear­headed by Grant Will­ing and Alana Celii, which they describe this way:

The dras­tic shift in the way work is being pre­sented today has become espe­cially notice­able in the more tech­no­log­i­cally adept gen­er­a­tion. Fjord’s goal is to bring together a col­lec­tion of notable pho­tog­ra­phers from the inter­net and show­case their work in book form. This tran­si­tion from inter­net to book will allow a dif­fer­ent audi­ence to expe­ri­ence the work thus bring­ing emerg­ing artists into the public’s view.

As we all know, pho­tog­ra­phy lends itself rather well to inter­net and, as a result, there’s a rather vibrant com­mu­nity of young pho­tog­ra­phers here. There’s no argu­ing the fact that our dia­logue is hav­ing an impact on they way images are cre­ated. Fjord will be a beau­ti­ful cat­a­log of this tran­si­tional moment. Though we are con­tem­po­raries, I have viewed many of these artists as men­tors as my pas­sion for pho­tog­ra­phy has grown over the past few years. I’m exceed­ingly proud to be included with them in these pages!

Be sure to peruse the gallery. There are famil­iar names in there and also less famil­iar ones, but all the work is absolutely wonderful!

Lastly, get­tingFjord to book­shelves is a is a grass­roots effort. If you can help us pro­mote the book in any way pos­si­bly, from send­ing some cash to link­ing to the web­site to sim­ply dis­trib­ut­ing some post­cards, we’d really appre­ci­ate it. Any extra dol­lars you might have can be sent to Alana thru pay­pal at sail­bel­lyup at gmail dot com.
