Chroma Camera

Chroma Camera Chroma Cameras are the newest, and most unique, large format field cameras available today.

I created Everyday-Photographics as a result of my passion for photography and also as an antidote to the numerous hidden cost photographers on the High Street today. Many photographers utilise the 'cheap sitting fee' model to get people through the door before sharing the actual costs of prints afterwards by which time people have already decided that they want the photographs. Instead of this, I

offer clear and open packages so you know what you will come away with. As well as portraits, I also really enjoy covering weddings because it's amazing how many different emotions can be seen on one day. As a photographer, real emotions make every image come alive and I always aim to deliver this feeling within my photographs. Whilst delivering my own style of photography, I also offer a unique service in that I shoot with both digital cameras and traditional medium format film. Whilst digital has its' place, seeing a roll of slide film looks like a string of stained glass windows which can't be beaten. If you're interested in this, please get in touch and I'm happy to share some examples. Please take a look at my galleries and get in touch if you have any questions.

Rachel is a good friend of mine, and of the Analogue Community as a whole, and has found herself suddenly in the terrible position of dealing with an unexpected neurological condition that has completely changed her situation both physically and mentally.

This fundraiser is just getting started, and sharing helps so much in the early days. Rachel has built something truly special with Liverpool Darkroom, but she’s now facing serious health challenges that threaten to take it all away. Supporting her would mean helping with transportation, treatment, and keeping her community alive. Even if you can’t donate, a quick share can help it reach someone who may be able to support.

Also, if you haven’t seen my previous share about her analogue flash sale, it’s in Liverpool this Thursday (92 Degrees Coffee, Jamaica Street, Liverpool, 12-19:00) where she will have a whole host of kit for sale, including 35mm, Medium Format and Cine/Super8. There will also be some Chroma cameras there to buy so there should be something for everyone.

I’ve been working on a couple of new customisation options for the recently, as a way to further customise your personal camera.

The first one is a colour-matched base plate. Up to now, all of my cameras have a solid black main body, with the colourway details added to the grip/lens cone latch, but I’ve tweaked the model to allow me to build the base plate separately. This means I can offer it as an upgrade if you’d like a fully colour-matched body. The standard cameras will retain the current blackout version, but I’ll be adding the option to my website when ordering.

The second new design cue is a soft-touch inlay on the grip. As well as breaking up the design of the grip, it also adds a slightly more tactile feel when holding the camera. Like the main body base plate, I’ll be adding this to my website.

This camera is a metallic gunmetal grey colourway, shown with a selection of accessories, including popup ground glass protector/shade, matching Graflok plate for shooting 6x17 on any compatible 4x5 large format camera, a technical lens cone to add 15mm of rise/fall/shift and a coldshoe-mounted MagSafe adaptor for attaching a compatible mobile phone to use it as a light meter/viewfinder. It’s also using my updated lens cone design which makes it easier to centre your lens in your preferred orientation using multiple locking position cutouts for the shutter pin and a second film back giving 6x12 format.

This camera is heading to Oregon, where it will be getting tested out for a future write-up which I’m excited to share when it’s ready.

Another subtle (!) orange headed out of the workshop this week, this one with the most popular Mamiya Press lens cone. I’ve been working on a selection of cameras this week, most of which will be finished up and out next week. Cheers

As a slight detour from my normal cameras I’ve put together a new panoramic setup using a Wirgin Edixa Stereo body (it came with stuck shutters and a faulty rewind) and a combination of newly designed 24x84mm film gate, central ‘throat’ and a pair of new lens cones that can be switched by removing 4 screws. The more compact setup uses my Schneider 47mm f5.6 MC lens and the other has a Mamiya Press mount, shown here with my 65mm f6.3 lens. I haven’t finished up the new skin yet, along with needing to tidy up some of the paintwork, but i’m quite excited to get a roll of film through it.

Following the changes to EU Customs Duty on parcels coming from the UK on the 1st July, Royal Mail randomly began to apply country-specific VAT charges on all parcels when booking the shipping last Friday. Prior to this, any in-country charges would be levied once the parcel arrived at the Customs office and billed direct to the Customer.

As a result of this change, my website will now automatically apply your country-specific VAT charge to the order when you complete your shipping details at the checkout. I will then pay the in-country VAT charge when booking the shipping, meaning that you won’t have anything else to pay when receiving your parcel.

I haven’t put the prices up for my cameras, and don’t retain any of the additional VAT payment myself. I don’t want anyone to think that I’ve randomly increased overnight!

These are the standard VAT rates by Country which will be added at the checkout. They would have previously been invoiced to the Recipient by Royal Mail/local mail service;

* Austria: 20%
* Belgium: 21%
* Bulgaria: 20%
* Croatia: 25%
* Cyprus: 19%
* Czech Republic: 21%
* Denmark: 25%
* Estonia: 22%
* Finland: 25.5%
* France: 20%
* Germany: 19%
* Greece: 24%
* Hungary: 27%
* Ireland: 23%
* Italy: 22%
* Latvia: 21%
* Lithuania: 21%
* Luxembourg: 17%
* Malta: 18%
* Netherlands: 21%
* Poland: 23%
* Portugal: 23%
* Romania: 19%
* Slovakia: 20%
* Slovenia: 22%
* Spain: 21%
* Sweden: 25%

Last up for now, these were all taken with my Six7, on either Ektar100 or Portra400, with the Schneider 47/5.6 or Holga 60/8. I had two film backs with me, this one shooting 6x7 and a second shooting panoramic 35mm (with sprocket holes exposed). I haven’t finished that roll yet so will add some of those once they’re done. I’ve also just posted off another roll of Portra400 that I shot on the walk so will see what that delivers too!

A few weeks ago I helped on the Analogue Wonderland Big Film Photowalk in Liverpool and spent the day with some really nice people and a whole range of cameras. I decided to travel light with my and a pair of lenses, a fixed mount Schneider 47mm f5.6 and Holga 60mm lens from a 120N. I also took along my favourite pocket rocket, the Rollei with a roll of LomographyUK Tiger200CN film. All of my films were developed/scanned by who did an excellent job as ever. These are the results from the Rollei E110, I’ll share some from my Six7 next.

Apologies for the lack of updates. It’s been a busy few weeks, coupled with some much-needed family time over the last few weekends, so I haven’t had much time to post.

Over the last few weeks I’ve worked on a selection of systems, including these here;

1. Six9 in matte black with cone.
2. Six17 setup in dark matte blue, with a Technical lens cone and second film back in 6x14 format.
3. An orange 6x17 Graflok setup.
4. Six17 in matte black with 210mm f5.6 lens cone, with an integrated tripod mount in the cone for better weight distribution.
5. Six12 setup in matte black with two additional film backs, 6x9 and my new offering in 6x6. Along with that, there are three lens cones for a range of focal lengths.

Alongside these customer cameras I’ve also finalised my “Pin12” design, which is a multi-format (6x12, 6.9, 6x6) pinhole camera with triple 0.2mm pinholes and integrated filter mount. I shot a test roll in an earlier build a few weeks ago (see my previous post) but discovered, after shooting them, that the pinhole disks I’ve always used aren’t actually fully light tight outside of the central brass pinhole disks..now I know 😂 I’ll load another roll this week and see if my updated design fares any better!

Whilst we’re away this weekend I’ve brought along a new pinhole camera that I originally built up at the end last year but was never completely happy with the design so had put it away for a while to ‘marinate’ in my mind.

Last week someone asked me if I’ve ever looked at designing a better made, and light tight, version of the 6x12 Holga 120 WPC and it brought me back to my “Pin12”. My camera comes with a pair of frame guide inserts and two frame windows on the rear door, giving three formats (6x12, 6x9 and 6x6 in one slim (25mm ‘focal length’) package. The camera will have three 0.2mm pinholes, one in the centre, one giving 15mm rise and one 15mm fall, each with their own magnetic shutter and a slim mount for any standard 49mm threaded filter. I’m currently running a 0.2mm central pinhole and 0.4mm top and bottom, but that’s just because I didn’t have three 0.2mm pinholes!

I’ve just finished the roll of that I had loaded so I’ll get it developed when I get back home and see how it looks.
