Today’s pick is 100 Portraits - a special selection of 100 portrait photos from the FlakPhoto.com archive.

Andy Adams has been publishing FlakPhoto for four years and this selection was produced, in partnership with Larissa Leclair, for a photo projection for FotoWeek DC, which showed at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, November 6-13, 2010.

The result is a fantastically strong selection of portraits from some of the best up-and-coming names in contemporary photography.

Apologies for the brief interruption in blog service. Postings should be back to normal from today!

Our selection today is a set of images from Trever Wilson’s portfolio:

From the artist: “This, my final piece of work for university, is focused on the positive aspects of womanhood; the strength of an individual, the love of a mother, the care within a community. The work consists of a series of portraits of members of the Seven Hills Womens Institute, whom I believe can represent all of what it can be to be a modern woman. There are women from different generation, different backgrounds, with different beliefs and interests. Once a month around seventy women meet for a few hours to socialise with other like-minded women. The reason the Womens Institute is so interesting is because it is often seen as old fashioned and therefore possibly working against feminist principles. But this is the modern Womens Institute; its not all baking tips and swapping knitting patterns. These are modern women, they are not bored housewives, and they are busy. Most are mothers, most have jobs, and all have numerous hobbies. This is now the modern expectation for women.”

A selection of his portraits are currently on display at Proud Chelsea.

From the artist: “The Tea Room is an essential hub of any office. A neutral space, away from the stress of the deskand the routine of office life, it offers fleeting moments of respite and of course, the obligatory cuppa. Shot at the end of a summer work placement, this is a day diary of The Tea Room…”
