The image of my mother is my most proudest moment I had made last year. It felt like I was making work that I have been trying to make for a lon...
Why pinhole photography?
This is a question I’m often asked, by fellow photographers and complete strangers alike. Using a beautiful wooden Ondu camera, I began exploring the world of slow photography about five years ago. The moment I saw my first developed negatives I knew I’d found a glimpse of photographic heaven. This started my obsession with this ancient form of imaging. As you’ll see, my love of this medium has many facets – the creative possibilities, the look and even the image making pro...

It's amazing how sometimes the simplest of themes can produce the most outstanding images. We have seen so many great shots for this week's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites #emptyspace theme. Thank you so much for taking the time to share them.
@davejsherwood. Here's my #emptyspace shoot for this week's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites. A small boat travelling up the River Douro in (you guessed it) Porto, Portugal. This one was shot on #delta400.

What it’s like to be a penguin
Possession Island is a rock in the Southern Indian ocean, about the size of the Scottish Isle of Rùm. It harbours a small French research station (a couple dozen people year round), and half a million seabirds. We have been monitoring King penguin populations there for the past decades: fascinating birds, King penguins. They may look clumsy on shore, but each of these little characters has been scouring through the wildest seas in the world, year in and year out, weatherin...

“I’ll just fix it in the darkroom.” is the motto I’ve lived by for decades.
I Was Too Deep Into Analog
Studying photojournalism in the late 80s, I was taught to print well but never learned advanced printing techniques because we were being prepared for quick turn-around journalism assignments. Commercially available digital photography was in its infancy, so it wasn’t on my radar, and even when it became standard, I was too deep into analog to have any interest. I shot for a local paper for se...
