Most of you are probably aware that last week we announced our 5 new Futures 2013 photographers.
Those that made the launch party will know that the night was a rip roaring success in a packed gallery with plenty of Hendricks gin & tonic to quench the thirst of our guests.
Many of you have been asking to see pictures from the night so as promised…
A packed gallery.
Two guests enjoying the show.

LPA Futures Toby Coulson has recently been working on this great set of portraits from his street in Stoke Newington, Belfast Road.
A small street in the heart of North East London, Belfast Road is, like much of the city, ethnically diverse and an area where a kaleidoscope of cultures combine. Toby’s project is a real ode to the street and to the vibrancy of it’s residents. Beautiful and honest work as always Mr Coulson.

We recently had an opportunity to catch up with the lovely Will Hudson, founder of It’s Nice That, on TWO occasions. In addition to being one of our ‘magnificent seven’ which comprised the LPA Futures judges, we also spent time catching up with him this week, finding out more about him and his work. Here is what Will had to say…

- Thanks for joining us Will, can you tell us a little about what you do?
I’m founder and director of It’s Nice That, a London based publishing platform focused on championing creativity across the art and design world. We do this by publishing work online, through our quarterly magazine and programme of events. I’m also co-founder and director of INT Works, an independent creative agency all about understanding brands to deliver creative solutions with meaningful results. Clients include Nike, Channel 4 and MTV.
- It’s Nice That is one of our favourite websites here at LPA, how do you see your site within the cultural sphere?
We try and cover a real breadth of creative work, from graphic design, illustration, photography and art to fashion, film and product design. I think it’s really important that things things can be seen side by side and more importantly that we can stick a second year illustration student next to an established ad agency. It’s Nice That has never been about saying “this is the best” it’s much more about something that resonates and makes you look again.

LPA Futures jet-setter Olly Burn recently went to the beautiful island of Cuba, capturing some rays as well as some great images.
In the small town of Viñales in the Pinar del Río province, Olly came across this group of kids playing football in the street, joining in himself before taking some candid shots. Olly’s trademark style and great use of warm light is making us need a holiday badly, roll on the Summer!

LPA Futures Toby Coulson has been adding to his great series of pedigree animals, spending time at a cat show.
Toby’s eerily beautiful images of Sphynx cats has already made an appearance on our blog, but we think this new lot of fun felines is the best yet! Shot on location at the show, Toby handpicked some of the biggest cat characters on display and took these great images.

After 10 weeks of great images by our fabulous photographers, we’ve reached the final installment of the LPA 10th anniversary special.
As it’s the big one we wanted to finish on a fantastic image so we commissioned our LPA Futures Rowan Fee to shoot something special. This cute little tin toy monkey looks great against the white background and really captures Rowan’s unique style of still-life photography.

LPA don’t just have London covered, we also travel around the country to showcase our photographers’ work – this time to the lovely city of Leeds.
Alexa and Tom went to the capital of the North (and Tom’s hometown…) Leeds to hang the LPA Futures exhibition for the lovely people at Brass Agency, as well as showing them our photographers’ books. We also made it to Thompson Brand Partners before heading back down to London. Looking forward to heading back up there to take the exhibition down and see some more Northern agencies. If you’re up North and would like us to bring our books to you, get in touch!
It’s grim up North…
