Making use of the properties of Trichrome images I wanted to create an unusual view of our countryside. Recognisable but thought provoking. Trichrome image created from 3 Black and White negative each shot with one of Red/Green/Blue filters. Scanned negatives are then combined and processed to make the resulting colour image.

Using a Large Format 4x5" pinhole camera each exposure was several minutes allowing the shadow of the tree to move across the scene. The different filtered exposures create this beautiful rainbow effect in the foreground. Trichrome image created from 3 Black and White negative each shot with one of Red/Green/Blue filters. Scanned negatives are then combined and processed to make the resulting colour image.

Made for #fp4party on Twitter. This was my first attempt at ULF Trichrome. The whole image taking process was nerve wracking and stressful, but a still/flat day shows how much detail and colour can be achieved with the process with some care. This graffiti is now gone, painted over by the local council and the location is poorer for it. Trichrome image created from 3 Black and White negative each shot with one of Red/Green/Blue filters. Scanned negatives are then combined and processed to make the resulting colour image.

Deep in a cycle of overthinking and despairing at my photography I nearly didn't make this image. Out for a foggy early morning walk I turned around and was greeted with this view. The tracks leading to (and away) from the sun trying to break through over the field and woodland. One of my favourite images for many reasons. 4x5" Large Format pinhole

Despite the first images in my portfolio being colour images I use Black and White film to make all my art work. The colour images are made using the Trichrome process which combines three Red/Green/Blue filtered B&W negatives to produce a resulting colour image. I find using and developing film adds joy to the whole process and the resulting images are better for it.

I use all formats of analogue film from 35mm through Medium to Large and Ultra Large format. The Ultra Large Format camera is a 7×17″ view camera which makes for wonderfully panoramic images. All negatives are scanned and processed digitally. From these I can then produce prints or digital negatives for Alt Process prints. Cyanotypes, Kallitypes and Platinum/Palladium.

Commercial work is made digitally with a focus on providing social media and web content for SME’s.
