Behind the image #9

December 01, 2014 in Portraits, Behind the image

Like some Forest Gump with a camera, I seem to be accidentally wandering in to some  couples' special moments ( no, not those kinds of special moments). In the summer it was a Dutch couple in New York and a few weeks ago, walking through The Custard Factory this fine groom and his new wife were by their chauffeur driven car ( a pristine classic Hackney cab) waiting to be whisked away. Although, when I saw them the whisking away was delayed as, ironically, they couldn't find their photographer.  Whilst they were waiting, I took a few shots of them and handed them my card. I've not heard from them since, so if you know this groom, let him know I've an extra wedding present for them.

Till next time...

The shifting verticals and horizontals of Milton Keynes
Feb 27, 2020

I was obviously a good boy in 2019, as at Christmas, Santa Claus flew via Japan and got me a 75mm f4.5 shift lens for my Pentax 67II. Where better to test the precise verticals than the clean lines of Milton Keynes…

Not being Vivian Maier - a sort of review of the Rolleiflex 2.8f
Nov 12, 2019

It has nearly been 12 months since I got my hands on a Rolleiflex 2.8f, and whilst I'm not usually a reviewer of equipment, I'd like to share my experience of using this iconic camera and the inspiration behind me finally owning one.

What you doing?"

"What you doing that for?"

"Why here?"

I get these questions regularly when I'm out shooting, but never more so than my recent couple of visits to Milton Keynes.
