Cameras

Most of my work is done on Nikon equipment, I have two F-801s (N8008 in the USA) bodies, and one FA body. In the studio I mainly use a Nikkor 100mm lens, and on location a Sigma 24mm wide angle. For optimum quality I use a Mamiya 645 with a standard 85mm and wide 35mm lenses.

The Studio

I use three Bowens Monolite 400 flash heads together with a variety of umbrellas, softboxes, reflectors, and backdrops. The studio is based in an old church hall and has many wonderful old textured walls and unusually shaped windows. Despite having the studio lights, I prefer using the natural available light in the studio.
Here in the UK the summer is rather short, and the weather can be unpredictable, but I try to do as much location work as possible, mostly using local landscapes and buildings.

Film

You may have guested that I have a love of monochrome photography. These are the films I use...

• Agfa APX 25 - SLOW ULTRA FINE GRAIN - For when I want hugh grain free enlargements
• Ilford DELTA 100 - MEDIUM SPEED FINE GRAIN - For all my general photography
• Ilford DELTA 400 - FAST & GRAIN FREE - For low light and sports
• Kodak T-MAX 3200 - ULTRA FAST & GRAINY - For when I need a heavy grain effect
• Kodak Infra-Red - The best IR film around (In my opinion) - Rated at 400asa/iso

In The Darkroom

For total control over quality I process all my own mono films, and produce the prints myself. Most of the films are developed in Paterson FX-39, with IR film developed in kodak HC-110.
Prints are made on Ilford Multigrade RC, with exhibition and print sales made on Ilford Multigrade FB. Prints are developed either in Ilford Multigrade Dev or Agfa Multicontrast Dev. Recently I have been using Ilford Warm Tone papers, finding them best developed in Agfa Neutol Dev. For extra permanance I tone FB prints in Fotospeed Selenium toner.
