Fine Art Printing for Artists & Photographers
I have always found immense satisfaction in seeing my work in print, and much of my passion for photography stems from the very early stages of my journey. I remember developing a roll of film in the school darkroom and then seeing the prints appearing in the tray of developer under the red light. The entire process captivated me, the smell of the chemicals, the process of loading film onto the spools in the dark, setting up the enlarger and seeing the final images come to life.
This hands-on experience of processing and printing fuelled my desire to shoot more rolls of film, and it played a pivotal role in my growth as a photographer. I’m especially grateful to my art teacher, who encouraged my enthusiasm and set me on a path that has kept me immersed in the photographic industry for most of my career.
In late 2024, I moved my studio to its current location in Corfe Castle, adjacent to the heritage railway station at Sandy Hill Arts Studios. This new studio, a solo venture, builds on the success of Fine Art Inkorporated, the printing business I co-founded in 2017 with a friend. Now operating under my own name, the space provides not only a dedicated studio but also an opportunity to engage with a vibrant community of artists. I’m excited to participate in joint exhibitions and collaborative projects throughout the year, and the shared spaces here also allow me to host my printing workshops.
While my workflow is now fully digital, I look back fondly on those early darkroom days, appreciating how they shaped my approach to photography and printing.
