Create your own Portrait Album cover of Terrestrials by Pond. Five expressive human portraits emerge from a vivid red and pink painted background, their faces overlapping and blending into an almost continuous composition. Each figure has a distinct expression and personality, while the loose brushstrokes, rough textures and exaggerated features give the artwork an intimate, spontaneous quality. The warm, earthy tones contrast with the intense crimson backdrop, creating a feeling of human connection, vulnerability and shared identity. The handmade, expressionist aesthetic gives the cover the character of a collective portrait. Terrestrials is the eleventh studio album by the Perth psychedelic rock band Pond, released on June 19, 2026 on their own Mangovision label via Secretly Distribution and self-produced by Nicholas Allbrook, Jay Watson, Shiny Joe Ryan, Jamie Terry and James Ireland, with Kevin Parker contributing production on "The Fatal Shore" and Heba Kadry mastering. The cover paintings are by Jessie Nash, painted from unposed photos the band sent her during the sessions, with artwork, type and design by Joseph Dennis. The album was released on vinyl LP, CD, cassette and digital.
T.A.E.s Art Reviews He shaved! and the Grotesque Satire of Modern Identity
In the dry pastel portrait He shaved!, the artist engages in a compelling dialogue between mid-century American satirical cartooning and European modernist portraiture. Visually dominated by an extraordinarily elongated neck and a flattened, mask-like countenance rendered in pungent ochre, the work destabilizes conventional portraiture to explore themes of exposure, banal absurdity, and the vulnerability of self-presentation. The most immediate historical resonance is found in the

T.A.E.s Art Reviews Self-Portrait, I think
In the dry pastel drawing titled Self-portrait, I think, the artist confronts the traditional genre of self-portraiture not as an act of self-aggrandizement, but as an exercise in existential doubt and comic desublimation. The tentative subtitle, I think, immediately subverts the artists authority over their own likeness, pointing to a contemporary condition of psychological alienation and disassociation. The composition presents a solitary, stylized bust rendered against a

Alma A - Summer Feels The shoot that nearly didn't happen due to my entire Facebook and Instagram accounts being deleted the day after we first started speaking! Funnily enough, this isn't actually the first session we had, but it was the first on film, which is where Alma expressed her admiration of the authenticity of film photography. It only made sense that we took some photos together and make the most of the fact she's extremely photogenic and I love film cameras! This was shot on the Nikon F4 with Kodak UltraMax 400. Shot on 5 August 2025

T.A.E.s Art Reviews Leaning In And Listening
In Leaning in and Listening, the viewer is confronted with an intimate, psychologically charged portrait executed in dense oil pastel upon an organic, hand-cast paper substrate. The work immediately enters into dialogue with early 20th-century Modernism, operating at the crossroads of School of Paris portraiture, Fauvist chromatic intensity, and German Expressionist structural directness. Through an astute integration of deliberate technical mark-making and an unapologetically tactile,

Im going to take a break from the Contax G2 collection for a while. Not because Ive stopped taking photos with this camera, ( I've sold it ) but because Ive just had a recent roll of film developed and Ive got quite a lot of half-frame film shots sitting on my hard drive. But of course were not going to take a break with a mediocre photo. On the contrary, I think this ones really brilliant. Of course, E. is a fantastic and dynamic young woman, but this shot was taken whilst we were out walking, it wasnt posed. It really is the cameras speed and the lenss sharpness that made this possible. Ive sold my Contax G2, I wasnt using the camera nearly enough myself, and its not the sort of camera that should be left in a cupboard gathering dust. But I can now look back on a few shots I took with it. I found the Contax to be a particularly fantastic camera for taking a series of portraits. I took it with me to many meetings with people Id never met before, where the aim was for both of us to be happy with the photographic results. Ive already shared some photos taken with this camera here, but now, as a farewell, Im putting together a collection:
I wonder if anyone ever uses this option or looks at other peoples posts (Let me know!! ) on with a 45mm glass and is timeless.
