Working through late November with master printer Kenji Sato in eastern Tokyo, our focus centered on stabilizing cold-toned silver bromide emulsions. The river humidity required strict three-degree chemistry baths to preserve deep midtone separation across overcast architectural frames.
Each final exhibition print demands twenty-four hours of fiber washing followed by unheated blotter drying under weighted plate glass. The resulting surface retains a tactile, satin depth impossible to reproduce with digital inkjet transfers.
Location studies and editions
Outer Hebrides windbreak study
Twelve rolls of 120 panchromatic film exposed along coastal stone crofts during low tide. Raking Atlantic daylight required heavy neutral density filtration to hold delicate cloud textures.
Bermondsey studio still life
A three-week observational inquiry into linen drapes and raw lime plaster illuminated solely by north-facing window light. Minimal composition emphasizes the slow gradation of midday shadow.
Kyoto timber frame archives
Documenting cedar joinery and interior courtyard thresholds for an architectural monograph. Exposures extended to four minutes at f/22 to register deep timber grain without artificial illumination.
Private print announcements
Subscribers receive biennial dispatch folios and early acquisition catalogs prior to public gallery installations.
