'A visit to the market' - taken at the old Salisbury Livestock market which stood on what is now the Waitrose site in Salisbury, Wiltshire. I am currently editing this work for a new online documentary piece on Social Documentary Network. #filmphotography #blackandwhite #monochrome#motherandchild #livestockmarket #agriculture #motherhood#children #toddler #documentaryphotography#socialdocumentary @socialdocumentarynet #salisbury#natgeoyourshot #nationalgeographic

'Long now, short skirt'

[gerry-walden]

I am really enjoying the control I have over my film photography, it has taken me back to many years of shooting film before digital was available. I was doubtful about using Fomapan 400 film because I had heard so many bad things about its grain structure etc. but i seem to have hit a good combination with processing it in Ilford DD-X, it is giving me good tonal range and controllable grain structure.

'Indecision!'

One of the things I love about film photography is that it matures in the brain. You take a shot, is it good or is it bad? You have to wait until you have finished the film and it has been developed before you see it. The atmosphere of the moment has gone, so you can judge it in isolation - is it good or is it bad? Decisions! indecisions! Leave it for now, let it mature and then decide.

In this particular image, the scene appears quite simple: a man leisurely strolling down a Parisian street, carrying an umbrella, passing by the end of a walkway. Yet, the truth is, I couldn’t possibly have predicted this moment, nor…

World-renowned for his music, his work stretches over sixty years and spans just about every modern musical genre. His latest album entitled ‘Accentuate the Positive’ is certainly one not to miss. I have managed to photograph him on two occasions, and…

The Hobbyhorse Rider

The cathedral city of Salisbury in the south of England is indeed a remarkable place that harbours centuries of history and culture. Its roots can be traced all the way back to the 11th century, making it one of the oldest cities in England. Nestled in the charming countryside, Salisbury is also in close proximity to the enigmatic prehistoric monument of Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site…

Dame Helen Mirren

I had the great pleasure of meeting and photographing Dame Helen Mirren a while back. Last night I watched her portraying chain-smoking Israeli PM Golda Meir in the film ‘Golda’ and would not have known it was the same person. What a great actress and a pleasure to photograph. Award winning film actress Helen Mirren (Dame Helen Mirren) touring the new P&O cruise liner Ventura in Southampton…
