Perth Landscape Photographer Large Format Film
Photography Workshops
Black and white landscape photography is the primary interest of Perth based photographer Alex Bond. He shares his knowledge of black and white photography in small workshops. Alex also provides individual tuition. Workshops are film based and include camera and darkroom techniques. Rather than sit at a computer, workshops are active in the field or in the darkroom teaching you new skills.
Film Cameras
His style has been crafted over decades using wooden field cameras. Combining his passion for hiking he has back packed his camera through out much of the south west.
Hand Crafted Prints
Alex Bond works mostly with black and white landscape photography using a large format wooden field camera. Unlike many photographers he retains the use of film and traditional darkroom techniques. As a result Alex prints by hand all his black and white silver gelatin exhibition photographs.
