My name is Rich and I may have Gear Acquisition Syndrome!

I first started this website/blog to catalogue my camera collection and showcase my photography work back in 2014.

Since then my collection has grown to include over 120 cameras and hundreds of thousands of images.

I specialise in the field of medium format photography, as well as being an avid participant in the “Lomography” movement. I use both digital and analogue photographic methods. I collect antique and retro photography equipment and experiment with the creative possibilities that they offer.

I find that mixing the old and new processes in photography allows me to generate new and personal images that have a unique surface quality. Desaturated colour, vignetting, light leaks, and happy accidents can be employed to express mood and atmosphere that can be missing in the world of digital photography.
My primary interest in photography is portraiture across several genres, including: advertising, candid portraiture, abstract, street photography, and social documentary photography.

I’m a true believer of “The decisive moment” and I always carry a camera in order to never miss an opportunity to document something that catches my attention. Light, composition, a point of interest are instinctively noticed by photographers, it is the unexpected that can be the most interesting.
