Headshots which are not daunting, serious, or expensive :D Come get some! I'll be running another session today at 12-2pm at the at the .barrel.comedy bar, all by donation, if you're between workshops message me on instagram to book a time slot so you don't run late!

How I adapted the big silly camera to shoot glass! Modifying an old Linhof film back, so that I could shoot on glass plates, I had to remove the pressure plate so the glass would fit in the holder, then tried it out with a couple of portraits in the studio :) Thanks to Zebra Dry Plates for still making these ridiculous sized 6th plates!

2025 was an amazing year for adventures - I've already done two full drone videos for a couple of the Skye hikes (see earlier in feed!) so I've not put any of the footage from there in this one, instead this is a compilation of other adventures last year, everywhere from Madeira to Jura

Results from taking the massive silly camera up a hill! Horseman 970, with two film holders; one for sheet film (big thanks to ILFORD PHOTO (Official Page) for still making this ridiculous size sheet film!) , and the other modified for shooting "6th" size glass plates (courtesy of the amazing Zebra Dry Plates )
