Plus, see an exhibition of the latest photographic work from the streets and forests of Walthamstow using analogue cameras. Prints and Zines available to buy.

I plan to exposure one frame – this could be on medium, large or 35mm format black and white negative film. This I will develop and scan and share with you as a digital file for your personal use. If you are interested in using the image for commercial use, not a problem lets have a chat about its usage and go from there. I will share your image as part of the ‘Pound a Portrait’ project and promotion of my own photography services and marketing.

Film photography, especially with older equipment, is not without its risks. Malfunctions happen and though it rarely happens, mistakes can be made along the way, from accidentally exposing the sheets to light, through to development errors with the chemicals that can mean images are damaged. So, just a heads up that this is an experimental session, but I’m pretty sure we’ll come away with a fun memorable portrait.
