PN: How do readers order a copy of the book? DN: #ShareMondays2021 is available on Amazon, along with #ShareMondays2020 and #ShareMondays2019. The trio are soft-touch covers, with around 54 pages for only £5.22. The previous two years can be found on Blurb, but are a little more expensive. PN: What are your future aspirations for ShareMondays? DN: As long as there’s interest in the whole thing, I will happily keep the books coming. It would be great to get the work of these photographers out further. Perhaps an exhibition of some sort would enable that, but I may need to seek additional help in order to bring it to fruition. So, for now, I’ll be happy to just keep this ticking along nicely.
PN: How can Photography News readers get involved? DN: Simply pick your favourite image from the previous seven days and post it on Twitter on a Monday, along with the hashtag #ShareMondays2022. The previous winner will look through everything over the following day or two, usually posting a longlist, then top four, and finally their winner for the week – in turn passing the baton of judging on. PN: You must be delighted with the ShareMondays 2021 book. Did you expect such impressive work? DN: The creativity on Twitter, which is still a vibrant community, is always impressive. This has been the case from the beginning, and 2021 was no different. A wonderfully diverse collection by 40 very contrasting photographers – from amateur to professional – was produced.
