For the 7th interview in our Community Focus series we're heading to Oslo to chat to Cyan Darkroom.
Let’s start easy. Tell us a little about the darkroom, what it’s called and how it started.
Cyan darkroom is part of Cyan studio that is a co-op community photostudio and workspace. The studio was opened in 1998 and has always had a darkroom attached. In 2020 we got hold of a separate space where we built a much larger darkroom, hoping that the timing was right to attract enough new users. After a...

Section 1 - Background
Share your favourite image / print shot on ILFORD film and tell us what it means to you?
This is hard for me as I never think anything I do is good enough. I am in a constant state of self-deprecation and can be overly critical of my images and projects. I chose the image belo...
These are portraits from this series. This is “Burnt Orange” —- a B&W photo project on evolving identities and third culture experiences through the lens of portraiture. In my experience being able to connect and share so much of intimacy through photography, I first share that with my friends and the people I meet along my many journeys.

Portraiture as a mirror
I didn’t really understand the art of portraiture before thsi project. What it means to giv...
Let’s start easy. Tell us A little about the darkroom, what it’s called and how it started.
The darkroom is a central part of the activities of SAIM (The Shoreditch Academy of Image Making).
SAIM was established in 2020 as an independent photography school by its two founders Ian Jackson and Adrian Mott. Both with long careers as commercial photographers plus extensive experiences as postgraduate University teachers.
As a private London school SAIM’s unique offer is a permanent darkroom and studio ...
Let’s start easy. Tell us A little about the darkroom, what it’s called and how it started.
Negative Development is a community darkroom in Manchester. The project took shape after I began searching for a community space, and when none could be found, the idea became to create one.
The first studio was a small unit in Pollard Yard, Ancoats, with two enlargers and a focus on one to one workshops. From there, the darkroom has grown through regular use and our loyal community. We now work from a more c...
How it all began
“So what’s your next project?”, my friend David asked me over lunch one day in the spring of 2024.
Unprepared for the question, my focus still on my second book, Fragments, which had just been published, my answer was quick and nochalant.
“I think I’m going to dig out my 4x5 and shoot some street portraits of total strangers”.
I surprised even myself with the answer. It was as if I was sitting in his chair and hearing that response for the first time. I can remember the conv...

One year ago I was chosen as a winner of the Ilford Community Grant for my project “ePhemeral”. As a dance photographer this was a gift for me, because it gave me the chance of contacting great dancers of different styles and movement dynamics to work with. For me it also meant a vot of confidence in the value of photographing movement, life, and fleeting moments through the analogue medium. And last but not least, it gave me the chance of exploring a new technique, Film Swap. Keep on reading and disc...
