Behind the camera

One photographer, one darkroom, no assistants between you and the print

The studio works the old way with modern tools: medium format film for portraits, a digital back for commissions on a deadline, and a wet darkroom for the silver prints. Every frame is edited on paper before it is edited on a screen.

Sittings run about two hours and are unhurried by design. Bring the people, objects or places that matter and expect direction only where it helps. The proof set arrives as a private online gallery, and the final prints are made here, signed and numbered.

Your date might still be open

Autumn and spring light book first, and the studio takes a limited number of sittings each month so every edition gets the time it needs. Ask, and you will get a straight answer about availability.

The studio

Visit, write or call

Sittings happen by appointment in the daylight studio. Prints and editions can be viewed in person on request; write ahead and the plates will be out on the table when you arrive.
