Architectural Photography on the Isle of Wight

Most of my work is currently carried out on various digital SLRs and medium format digital systems, although I still retain film capability in 35mm, medium format roll film and 5”x4” sheet film with a 58mm Schneider Super Angulon XL for those situations where camera movements - not yet fully available to digital equipment - become necessary!

As you will probably be aware, most interiors require a considerable amount of lighting to make them appear at their best, as well as some “furniture re-arranging” etc. This kind of work involves a great deal of additional equipment, and expertise which can only be gathered over a period of some years.

Exteriors, of course, always look better with sunshine and blue sky, so very often the outside of a building requires several visits to portray it at its best. I do not supply photographs in which buildings appear to be to be falling over backwards; I go to great lengths and expense to ensure the subject is rectilinear!
