I shot my first roll in 2006.

It was then that my grandfather passed down both a digital and a film SLR to me. In the years that followed I started working as a freelance press photographer, and I've been making a living from photography for over fifteen years.

All that time, most of my personal work has been film-based, using the cameras in my ever-growing collection. In 2018 I took a deep dive into the film photography process, from shoot to print.

What started as an improvised workspace in my garage has grown into a dedicated studio with an ever-evolving darkroom. I use my trusty Jobo machines to develop almost any film size and process under the f/16 sun.

Every roll is carefully spooled and developed as if it were my own, and scanned on my Fujifilm Frontier SP-3000.

I believe in working closely with photographers, finding the right tools and process from shoot to finish, and nailing your preference in development and scanning. I look forward to working together. Thanks beforehand for trusting me with your film.
