Analogue Series
This series combines the past and the present, my admiration of analog photography equipment with my digital photography workflow. Each photograph is a large-scale portrait of an analogue piece of equipment from the 1900s that has historical importance, and great design. This exhibition is dedicated to the new generation discovering these tools and to those who have designed, created and used these instruments in the past.

This portrait was made using macro or “close up” photography in other words I photograph the camera in sections, I then stitch the sections together in Photoshop, just like a landscape photographer would do to create a sweeping panorama. I've created a sweeping panorama of a relatively small object which enabled this large-scale print. I want the viewer to see the camera as I do. I want you to sense the magic this instrument brought the world.
I love the 1950s design elements in this Kodak camera, from the lightning bolt in the view finder, which reminds you to wind the film for your next shot, to the red dot with the Kodak logo in the center, to the fonts and the simple wording around the lens which act as a focus guide.
