Over
the years I have used many different cameras varying in age, format
and size. Although some appear outwardly similar they are in many
respects quite different from each other. Each possesses an
individual character in design and ergonomics that will become
entwined with the image making process.
Currently I use equipment from both 'traditional' and digital technologies. While I have embraced some of what digital technology has to offer there is always the possibility of any 'process' taking on a greater importance than the final 'image'. Whether it be analogue or digital, alternative or traditional, 35mm or LF camera, etc - these are only the means to an end - the photograph.

In
2010 I made the decision to return to photographing with film.
While digital has many advantages the one thing I miss was the
'uncertainty' that often comes when using film. I will continue to
use a hybrid workflow of analogue and digital techniques but, for
now, it will be a more balanced approach.
