The London Alternative Photography Collective provides regular artist talks on the subject of analogue & alternative photography processes used in contemporary art. Anyone can be part of the collective. The London Alternative Photography Collective aims to make alternative photography techniques accessible, exciting and innovative. We regularly curate exhibitions and run affordable/free workshops and demonstrations. Melanie King is Founder and Co-Director of the London Alternative Photography Collective, and is also a practicing artist. Melanie is studying an MPhil in Printmaking at the Royal College of Art. As Director of the London Alternative Photography Collective, Melanie has curated the London Pinhole Festival, a number of exhibitions and convened the Shadows symposium at Camberwell College of Art. Almudena Romero is Co-Director of the London Alternative Photography Collective. Born in Spain in 1986, Almudena Romero is a visual artist working with early photographic processes such as cyanotypes, salt printing or wet plate collodion, along with new technologies including 3D printing. In 2016-2015, Almudena has been commissioned by the Fundación Mapfre and the V&A Museum to deliver different educational projects to promote knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of the wet collodion process alongside the Julia Margaret Cameron exhibition at these museums. In May 2015, members of the London Alternative Photography Collective (Melanie King, Constanza Martinez, Andres Pantoja) were commissioned to create a world-record sized cyanotype by The Wellcome Trust for the On Light series of events.
