There’s no denying it, working with film these days is hard work. There are no short-cuts and it all takes time, but I guess it always has.

The prints are all hand-printed by me in the darkroom, using film, enlargers and chemistry, the same way it has been done since the early days of the 20th century. I only use fibre papers and all prints are toned and processed to archival standards.

Most days will still find me at the studio, working in the darkroom, processing film and making prints.

“Making an object is crucial to photography. Everybody who is just shooting JPEGs, they’re in trouble. They’ve got to learn how to make an object, whether it’s an image in a book or a print on the wall.”
