Hi, Love your recent black and white pictures – They have a 1960s/70s feel to them. Are they meant to or is it just me? Didn’t think it was possible to achieve that all these years later. They make me reminisce. Thanks.
Hi Elaine
thanks for the comment, I am pleased you enjoyed them. I have soaked up a lot of influences over the last few years, and have looked at a lot of books by people like Tony Ray-Jones, HCB, Ian Berry, Graham Smith etc.. so maybe that is showing in my work. It’s not intentional however, and I would hate to feel that they appear dated; but perhaps the combination of Leica cameras and Tri-X film is a big part in their look. You have given me a lot to consider!
Best, Roger
