I used to be a Creative Professional in Imaging, but that stopped entirely with Covid. I really missed Film Photography most of all, which had stopped years prior to that for me due to freelance economics. Once the world opened up and we became free to roam again (which I needed to do, for my own well being after lockdown) using 35mm Film I started shooting casual Street Portraits of cool people I met just walking around places I visit. I often connect with alternative or arty or different people, or people who are just friendly and open / approachable.

I couldn't believe the Amazingly Positive response from this. I've sent photographs to so many countries now, as I make the photographs with people with their permission, respectfully in a co creative way, and then share them.

I have self funded this so far from my now Monday to Friday job working in Mental Health. It would really help me out to 'buy me a coffee' (or two) as it's unlikely I can carry on shooting film and giving out photographs without help, I simply can't afford it. Not that I regret a single moment of my adventures with 35mm film.

I really wanted people to appreciate how great Film is as a medium, and people tell me they really like the photographs we make. Younger people especially who never experienced film when that's all there was, haven't always had a 'good quality' experience from the Film Photography 'rebirth' and that's something I felt really disappointed about, and wanted to help change impression around Film Photography.

I hope for all sorts of reasons you'll support me, and help keep Film Photography thriving and alive as a medium, and help me to be able to make Portrait's that people can enjoy and appreciate, as I can enjoy making them, and meeting people.

When I'm in my local area, I am shooting casual landscape images, mainly 'picture postcard', but I also show the truths and like the odd quirky or abstract image too.
