About the artist:
I’m one of a small number of photographers working today who still print
and tone B/W silver gelatin images by hand, in the traditional way. I work
in my own dark room at my studio by the sea.
My interest lies in the unpredictability of employing so many toners on
each image, because the chemicals always react differently. Each time I
develop and tone an image I get a different result. No two photographs
can ever be the same: each one is unique.
I cut all my mounts by hand from conservation quality card and I have
each frame made by local craftsmen to fit each photograph. The frames
are made of reclaimed wood, most of it from the beach outside the
studio.
This level of skill and care is reflected in the finished photograph and I
think that’s what makes them appealing to people who are looking for
something more than just an image.
