"I do remember exposing and developing a B&W 126 film cartridge then enlarging and glazing the print's in the school darkroom back in 1972"
But I really started using photography as a creative outlet in 1984, when I bought my first 35mm camera a Zenit TTL, back in my home town of Romford in Essex. I then converted our garage into a darkroom, for processing my black & white film exposures, and printing the results with an LPL enlarger at that time.Then upgrading my kit in 1985 to the new Nikon F301 with a 70~200 f4 lens, then going on the the fully manual Bronica etrs medium format camera and 75mm f2.8 lens. In 1990 I found what I think was the best camera I have ever used the fully manual 1970s Nikon~NIKkOMAT~FTN with a 50mm F1.4 lens.
Example below of my photograpy and home darkroom printing from 1990

I started freelancing in the autumn of 1995, Having some local newspaper publications and Working full-time as a freelance photographer, using commercial lab's to develop and print my work. I was shooting wedding's/event's, newborn's/children also shooting university graduation ceremonies and graduation portraits, throughout the U.K's universities Using 35mm and 120 film, with 35mm and 6x4.5 6x6 and 6x7 medium format cameras, untill I stopped shooting in 2003, as film photography was swept away by the new digital format. Now shooting on digital and occasionally with film and using it as a creative outlet, I am once again back in love with photography, shooting as a hobby on a T.F.P collaboration basis. Im now based in gloucester, GL2 area with a home studio. I'm also up for location shoot's.

I'm always looking for models for, collaboration T.F.P. shoots, regardless of your: ethnicity, size, gender or gender none-conforming, alternativeness.. I only work with models 18 years of age and older no uper limit. In some cases I may request identification be provided. Also you must have at least one reference or willing to exchange contact numbers. If you feel that you need a chaperone that implies that you do not trust me or have a lack of slef~confidence, in which case I have no wish to work with someone who regards me as a potential threat or someone who has no self~confidence, See my 200 plus References.
