Fine art photography using large format sheet film in antique cameras, vintage cameras and DIY cameras.

​

Using photographic paper instead of the glass plates that would have been used originally in the cameras from c1900 opens up interesting image making possibilities that I am enjoying exploring.

The challenge is that with film the speed (ISO) requires a fast shutter speed, so the camera needs a sprung shutter (maybe a guillotine shutter). I use Thornton Pickard roller shutters to get speeds of 1/30 to 1/125s
