- Stuckist Photographers
The Stuckist Photographers are a group of photographers founded by
Larry Dunstan andAndy Bullock in December 2003 in order to apply the values of the Stuckist painters to photography.History
The Stuckist Photographers were brought about when Dunstan asked, "Is there a place for photography in Stuckism?" The photography group is independent of the artists' group, but in alliance with it. The photographers also state that they are a Remodernist group, meaning that their aspiration is to establish "a new spirituality in art".

Lady Lever Art Gallery as part of "The Stuckists Punk Victorian " show during the 2004Liverpool Biennial .The other current members are
Wolf Howard ,Ella Guru and Charles Thomson. They each take a different approach to photography. Bullock, whose work is in the National Portrait Gallery, takes an introspective and sometimes political stance. Dunstan uses his facility as a commercial photography to address the question of beauty, as well as environmental issues and the effects of technology, such as airborne "tube dust". He has worked for "i-D ", "GQ ", "Dazed & Confused", "The Financial Times " and "The Observer ", musicians includingIce-T , Aqualung andAsher D , and campaigns for Paul Smith. Howard works exclusively with pinhole photographs, and Thomson records his everyday experiences with a "snap-shot vocabulary".ee also
