In the early- mid 70’s I used to spend my childhood pocket money and Saturday job cash on singles and albums in Record Corner in #godalming - after decades I returned to see my childhood hometown and it was still there

I rather like this image from a recent shoot in the studio with Jacqueline. I’m not really finished editing but here are a couple of versions….work in progress #artphotography

Deep into the archives… a couple of shots from probably my first studio shoot using medium format kit in 1987. I don’t really think I knew what I was doing and I was nervous but I kinda like the images #studioshoot #glamour #monochrome #bronica #mediumformat #filmphotography

One of my favourites from when I visited San Fran and shot with the lovely 📷 @charlesnevols.bsky.social 😍
