Fourteen-nineteen

EMILY BURTNER

The Internet is full of blogs and web shops and a lot of them are alike. Fourteen-nineteen however is something different. It’s a web shop that exhibits and sells photographs of young talented photographers. The founders of fourteen-nineteen are photographers Alex F. Webb & Lewis Chaplin. They both exhibited work in several galleries from London to New York such as Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts and Turning Point Festival. Alex is currently living and studying in London. He worked as the assistant of Jay Brooks and for Independent Newspaper. Lewis Chaplin worked as photo editor for Platform Magazine.

Last month they opened a bookshop in the New Gallery London. Here you can buy prints and self published copyzines, which are independent magazines – limited circulation. In their bookshop fourteen- nineteen also sells books published by Pogobooks and Lay Flat amongst others. Their idea is to ‘celebrate the creativity and originality shared by our peers and those we admire, still in the earliest stages of their photographic lives.’

The photographs have a high artistic level in common as well as the emotions that burst out of the works. Apart from that, the pictures range from parties to nature and still lives. When you scroll through the gallery you’ll see analogue mixed with digital, so there’s a pick for everyone.
