Flower still life - shiny, dark and scratched beyond belief 🖤

A large salt print of the fairytale woods - with extra brooding darkness! I used a different paper for this negative and ended up overexposing it slightly, but I like it 🤷♂️

Over the last year I have designed a few books for some fantastic photographers and artists and last week I finally got to see this beauty from Jonas Dahlström in the flesh.
I’m so proud to have done the design, mirroring the lines in his photographs.
Out now @KerberVerlag – at Rochester, South East

Very much looking forward to the next @artshealthhub on Wednesday evening — 'Decoding the Personal'. An in-conversation event with 3 artists exploring the impact of #genetics on their arts practices. It's free, too. artsandhealthhub.org/events/
Straight up one of my favourite plates ever ⚡️ Collodion is such a joy when you’re finding yourself getting lost in the process.

Thanks once again Stuart. – at Rochester, South East
Photofriends - I am trying to write a list of classic photography groups/collectives.
I want to find groups that included black and female members and who were active and influential pre-1990? Any help would be appreciated 🙏
In other news, Hulkes Lane Darkroom & Studio have had a make over this week - new coats of paint and fine tuning the setup.
We are opening soon (very gradually) #hldarkroom

These branches have a wonderful flow. Another salt print from a recent walk. Each image is a commitment of quite a few hours, from making and preparing the neg to seeing it dried & finished, Paper negatives add some extra challenges for the tonal range, that I am happy to wrestle
The Forest, a small 4x10” salt print. @zaracarpenter thinks it looks like an illustration for a fairytale✨🍃 #saltprint – at Rochester, South East
