Over the last couple years I have been getting back in analogue photography. I’d forgotten how much the limitation on the number of shots and the development process itself really makes you think about the image you are taking before taking the photograph itself. I’ve also found the camera itself (I’ve been using a Widelux) promotes a dialogue with the general public – one that wouldn’t happen say if I was just using my phone.

I also think that film itself has a certain delicate softer feel than this often harsher 4K world. I suppose I could achieve a similar feel with a certain amount of digital processing, but I like the element of surprise and potential for unexpected flaws that can add to the feel of an image. Similar to the way in which a record can pick up flaws and scratches that become unique to the listening experience.

I’ve been experimenting with different types of printing, mostly Cyanotype as it has proved to be the most practical at homeland I love the scratches and defects that can added (intentionally or not) to the process. I also love the way you can print on all sorts of found materials and objects which can create a whole new meaning to the work. I’m interested in exploring these ideas further, hopefully on a larger scale.
