Information

Place. Our perception of place, space and how we hold ourselves within it.

The concept of place and the notion of what might be termed as a certain 'thereness' are what humanizes landscape, what energizes it with a sense of the prospect, and ultimately separates it from wilderness.

THE CAMERA

Harry works with a large format Gandolfi 10 x 8 inch wooden plate camera. He uses just a single 240mm lens, which is a medium wide angle. The tripod is the heaviest manfrotto studio tripod available. The apparatus is very heavy and moving around too much is difficult and often unnecessary. Photographing with this camera requires a combination of anticipation and patience. The film is standard negative emulsion, mostly Fuji. It is much the same as is used in standard small film cameras. The difference of course is in the size of the negative and the resultant level of detail.

THE WORK

The works available are all hand printed 'C' type prints direct from the 10 x 8 inch negative. Printed and mounted in Germany, framed in the UK.
