The UK Jewish Film Festival 2018: Three Identical Strangers
Most of us have had the unsettling experience of being compared with or mistaken for someone we look like– but when you find out you look exactly like another person, have the same birthdate, and have both been adopted– that is quite different. And made all the more so when you find your third exact match. Continue reading

Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up
With the opening of Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up, the V&A’s hugely anticipated, hot ticket of a show, you’ll have a unique chance to savour more than 200 of Frida’s paintings, photographs, clothing and personal possessions. Their fascinating back story is clearly part of the allure: most of these items have never been seen outside the Casa Azul (Blue House), the Mexico City home in which Frida was born, lived and died. They had been protectively stashed and sealed inside a bathroom by her husband, muralist and revolutionary Diego Rivera, and only revealed 50 years after her premature death. Continue reading

When the folks working on the launch of Panasonic’s new Lumix DMC-GX80 got in touch to see if I wanted to get a chance to play around with (and keep) one I was all for it. I just didn’t realise I’d be even more avid a couple months later when I started using it almost exclusively by default. It’s a great camera. Continue reading

WOMEN: New Portraits by Annie Leibovitz
WOMEN aims to look at the way the roles and notion of womanhood have changed over time. After a shoot with Caitlyn Jenner, Annie describes, “It was like creating a new person, around the idea of what a woman is… what is, who is this new person?” The concept first fascinated her decades past, after shooting Vegas showgirls inside and outside of their makeup. “They were so normal looking [out of costume]… my [showgirl] photos represented how women dressed up to be women.” But what happens when you dress the concept of womanhood down?
