About

I have been taking and developing photographs for over 25 years. I prefer monochrome to colour and take photographs in 35mm, 6cm x 6cm, 6cm x 4.5cm and now 5in x 4in as well as digital.

Favourite films are Kodak TriX400, Ilford FP4 and HP5 developed in Agfa Rodinol. I also use Fuji and Kodak colour films.

My cameras are: Hasselblad 500cm, Bronica SQA, Canon (various), Olympus (various), Nikon (various), Zeroimage pinhole cameras, Sinar monorail camera (5 x 4).

All my digital work is undertaken on all my film cameras where the negatives are professionally scanned. I also shoot on Olympus digital cameras, which are excellent.

Images are edited on an Apple Imac using Photoshop Elements, Photoshop CS2 and Aperture. The apple is brilliant for this.

Once you use a Mac you don't go back!
