Fantasy in focus

 

 

Alex Preston discusses musicians, nicknames and the search for a perfect bathtub with an astoundingly imaginative Yorkshire photographer

 

If you happen to have a very large bathroom that might be suitable for – wait for it – a mermaid photoshoot, Scarborough photographer Sarah would like to hear from you.

It might sound bizarre, but it’s this kind of sideways thinking that has put Sarah – known in the business as Sarahphotogirl – at the top of her game. Best known for her portraits of musicians from The Darkness to Paul Weller, she has more recently delved into a form of fantastical photography she calls ‘Dark Arts’. Many images are based on children’s story scenarios including Alice (of Wonderland fame) falling down the rabbit hole and Dorothy caught up in the cyclone en route to Oz, and are described by their maker as ‘an eclectic mix of photography and art.'

The Best of the Brontes

With new film and television adaptations of Charlotte Bronte's 'Jane Eyre' and Emily Bronte's 'Wuthering Heights' in production, Peter Riley argues that it was Anne Bronte who could have become the greatest of all the literary sisters.

SHE is the least known of the famous Brontë sisters, but her literary legacy tells us that, had she lived,  she would have eclipsed her siblings  and perhaps gone on to write top class novels for decades.

Lancashire artist Keith Melling has been inspired by the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales


VALLEYS, crags and peaks; sweeping fells and green valleys; vibrant market towns and farms aplenty: the scenery of the Yorkshire Dales is an artist’s playground. More than nine million people visit each year, many of them drawn from outside Yorkshire to take in its views. Among them is artist Keith Melling, who lives near the Yorkshire-Lancashire border and who finds no end of inspiration in the Dales’ diverse scenery.
