Craftform

A 3-year investigation of Devon’s River Exe by photographer Jem Southam who revisits sites over long periods to capture changes of seasons, atmospheric conditions and effects of time. While the series of pictures question 'what is a river', Jem's stunning images also address photography's status as 'craft' and 'art form'.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to make a living from the craft you are so taken with, then it might be time to find out. If you've been selling pieces on and off for years, your earnings and output only really hindered by the time you need to devote to your day job, then it's worth considering swapping the latter out for the former.
