film photography

My camera, a 1950 Rolleicord twin lens reflex, acts as my mentor, informing my choice of subject, while my graphic design eye takes care of the composition. The result is a collection of images, each with a timeless quality - ghosts from a mysterious past - yet subjects that are very much in the here and now.

With medium format film, I have a limited amount of time to get a shot, and only know if I’ve succeeded after I’ve developed a roll in the darkroom cupboard under my stairs. From there, the negatives are scanned, touched up with a very light hand and professionally printed onto archival paper.
