It’s over forty years now since I came to Leeds from Newcastle-upon-Tyne and here I am, still in West Yorkshire. I’ve always loved photography and make it my mission to photograph the people and places that fascinate me in the north of England, and also in Scotland and, occasionally, Spain.
Because I grew up with monochrome film photography, that’s how I do my photography now. I have a couple of Nikon Fs and a few Olympus OMs, and I use mostly Ilford film: mainly HP5, sometimes FP4 or Pan F, and the majority of my films and scans are expertly done by Snaps Photo Services in Bournemouth. They’re not paying me to say that – I genuinely love their work and they’ve never let me down.
