handcrafted limited edition selenium-toned silver gelatin photographic prints
I individually hand print my black and white photographs in my darkroom using traditional fibre-based silver-rich paper and established archival processes.
My prints are dry-mounted onto 100% cotton museum board, window-mounted under conservation mat, protected by clear acrylic sheet, and an aluminium frame. They are shipped ready to hang.
If desired I can provide an unmounted print in most instances.
Please contact me for additional information regarding the edition and availability.

I have been waiting for some time now to make this photograph at Turner Street Jetty at Seine Bay Augusta. However, every time I visited things were never quite in my favour.
Dissociation photographic exhibition is an ongoing project documenting landscape elements within the Canning River environment. The exhibited photographs are hand printed by the author in his traditional wet darkroom, from medium and large format black and white film negatives.
Alas, Polaroid Type 55 positive negative film is no longer made. It was rated around 50 ISO on the box which, in my eagerness, is what I exposed the image above at. Great for a well exposed print, but possibly a mistake for a negative if you want to print from it.
Printed this morning in my darkroom, I made this image last weekend just after some recent rain. It was rather impromptu in one sense. I had been out walking the dog and noticed the late afternoon light at the weir. When I returned home I grabbed by 2 1/4 square camera and went back to the river in the fading winter light.
