3- Inside the Armstrong Hall: large format photographs of a theatre frozen at lockdown The Armstrong Hall in Thornbury closed its doors at the start of UK lockdown and stayed locked for more than four years. Before it reopens after renovation, I went in with a 4x5 camera and 24 sheets of FP4 to document a building frozen at the moment of its closing. A shoot diary.
- Stenopeika Air Force 4x5 long-term review: a great first large format camera Eighteen months and only one large format camera. This is the long-term review of the Stenopeika Air Force 4x5, the entry-level field camera I have used exclusively for 4x5 work. Portability, the 65mm lens trick, the time I dropped it and it crumbled, and why I love it anyway.
- Stenopeika Caronte 4x5: first impressions of the cypress-wood field camera Stenopeika's new Caronte 4x5 is a premium step up from their affordable Air Force 4x5, with a Tuscan Cypress body and an all-metal base. Hands-on first impressions from a Toronto studio shoot with Velvia, including the bits that went wrong as well as the bits that went right.
