Me, and My Cameras

“In photography, there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.”- Alfred Stieglitz

​

I fell in love with photography as a teenager, the ability to create  something tangible from the light.

For my personal work I mostly use film, and also wet plate collodion on glass.

Each photograph is then hand-printed by myself in a traditional darkroom, all to archival standards.

​

While I carry my digital (Olympus) camera everywhere with me, I can also be spotted having fun with any one of my many old film cameras.  Each of them has their own personality and create a different look.

The love of cameras started early for me, I love the engineering and the huge variety of designs, for what is basically a box with a hole in!

 

  I am also lucky enough to volunteer as the Press Officer at my local RNLI lifeboat station, photographing the lifeboats and crew while on exercise and call outs.
