Another from the third session of portraits at Arcadia Gallery, this is Henry Kestler, another local photographer and gallery visitor. While I’m relatively happy with my lighting I was inattentive to my framing, learning curve…

My dudes!
Very proud to announce that 'Spectral' is now live.
A collaboration with patient sitters who visited our studio in May and shot their own self portraits on an old 1950's camera. I then combined these images using a little css wizardry.
There are:
20 portraits
31 masks
23 gradients

The first evening I took portraits at Revisiting Analogue I didn’t think anyone would show up so I took a still life of the wall that I hung. Featuring work by Tamara Chatterjee, Jarek Michalski, and Lori Fox Rossi.

It was hot, sweaty and unsatisfying on the whole. But that’s enough about me.
Ghetto darkroom and finding out the paper needs over 5 mins exposure in the end. #filmphotography #darkroom #largeformat #photography #4x5 #ishootfilm

Put together another video on my process for resurrecting a disused lens from 1850 back into use taking portraits of my friends:

Last week I was working on three prints from 4x5 negatives taken in 2021 in the Buckie area of Speyside. They all came out to my satisfaction, but the 'On the Speyside Way' print stands out, it came out exactly as I pictured it back then when taking it, and it's always satisfying when things come together like that. #Photography, #FilmPhotography, #LargeFormat, #Scotland, #Speyside: https://aye.tf/2025/06/28/speyside-way
Omg. Sneak peak of an awesome photo time this evening: 8x10 shooting/lesson with nephew and Harman DPP.
Nephew focusing under darkcloth, being helped by daughter, while I’m posing. 
Results currently drying but came out amazing
