//ANNOUNCEMENT//

We can finally show you the fresh cover for our self-titled debut EP, beautifully designed by Adam French.

Since recording began in May at The Motor Museum Recording Studio, we've been working tirelessly with Al Groves - Record Producer/Mixer to ensure that everything is perfect before the release.

We are extremely pleased to announce that a launch date for the EP is currently being organised.

Thank you for being patient with us, we are so proud of what we are hearing and hope you all will be too!

I was given the great opportunity to photograph Flash Øø Murphy and Rachel Parsons wedding purely on film a few weeks ago, so here's a selection of photos from different cameras and different film and process types :D

Finally adding some colour to this page, done a lot of black and white photography recently :D First time using E-6 reversal film cross processed in C-41 chemistry on a 60's Kodak Coloursnap wandering around Lancaster :D

The rest of the 8x10 negatives from large format MkII :D Each one is a 6 sec exposure at f6.0 and a slightly different lighting set up to the first two I posted, there's more backlighting and a small amount of light for hair highlights, thanks to James, and a way more accurate shutter system using an enlarger timer hooked up to all the lighting so it is all automatically controlled thanks to Matthew :D

More photos from large format MkII, this time 8x10 negatives on Ilford multigrade paper :D both are 6 second exposures at f6.0 in our home made studio :D

6x8 Large format portrait of Matty, after two failed attempts we ended up with this, which has a rather odd light leak across the top from another piece of kodabrome paper :D

Experiment with uneven development :D Painting developer [1:10 rodinal film dev] onto the exposed Kodabrome paper, very random and unpredictable results but look interesting when it works properly :D
