As designers we are constantly inundated by photographers soliciting work. Due to the fact that in the age of the web we are all saturated by imagery we have in fact never hired a photographer via this avenue. We still work along the lines of ‘meet friend in pub, meet friend’s friend in pub who is photographer, laugh, get pissed talk about ideas, hire photographer’. This may be archaic but there you go.

Thanks to our recent brush with SHOWstudio we discovered the site of Jason Evans. Hardly a photographer who requires introduction but his website is giddily infectious. No miles of achievements, no slow-loading gargantuan portfolio, no ‘he took the fashion world by storm’; just one picture that changes everyday and is not stored meaning you can’t review his entire catalogue. You can’t appropriate his work and feel ‘oh yeah I got the whole Jason Evans thing’. It’s generous and stingey at the same time, extremely more-ish and, strangely, incredibly effective as a portfolio and in a discreet way asks some relatively big questions about how we use the internet.
