"The sharpest eye in London"
London Evening Standard
BARBARA CHANDLER is a best-selling photographer. Using her own work, she has been making cards by hand since the early 90s, calling her range IMAGES TO FRAME. Each card has a genuine photographic print, stuck down, titled and signed by Barbara. A stamp on the back guarantees authenticity. These cards are currently stocked by prestigious The Conran Shop, with a wider selection for sale on this website. Some of the images have sold into thousands. Barbara's signed, mounted and framed prints are also sold by the Conran Shop in London, Paris, and Japan. There are cards for all occasions, and a wide range for Christmas. "These cards make a very special gift," says Barbara. "People often frame them, or keep them in a drawer. I have been thrilled to find that that some people now have large collections of IMAGES TO FRAME." |
Barbara Chandler is self-taught. Her first exhibition was over 20 years ago, and she has held many since. Her Visions of Poland series was exhibited in Warsaw, and then three times in London. Her exhibition Street Music (of street musicians all over London) was shown in the crush bar of the old Covent Garden Opera House in 1995. This was the start of the Love London portfolio. A show at the West Soho Gallery followed, entitled Barbara Chandler's London. The Hidden Heart of Hackney (people and places) went on show in 1999, and the Love collection was exhibited in London in 2004. Then came the show Love London itself, which was in the Habitat picture gallery on Regent Street in the heart of London's West End in 2008. |

Now comes the book LOVE LONDON, Barbara Chandler's unique tribute to our capital. It has 180 photographs taken by Barbara Chandler over a period of over 20 years. The earliest was taken in 1986 of a rag-and-bone man with horse and cart, but many were taken in 2010, when this book was taking shape. Then there are over 100 fascinating quotations about the capital, matched with the photographs. They range from a 15th century poem to snippets from modern newspapers and blogs. The book is a hard-back, well-designed, beautifully-bound and small enough to fit in your pocket – a coffee table tome it is not. It is published by Batsford, and the price is £9.99.
