A black and white journey into the depths
When I leave home for a day of diving, I always feel a mix of excitement and detachment. A moment alone at dawn, when everyone is still asleep, becomes a kind of quiet ritual: methodically packing my gear, performing last checks, loading film and setting off towards a world apart.
My photography was born from a simple desire: to share those moments — their quiet magic, and the subtle mix of lightness and oppression that comes with the depths.

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...
Although there doesn't seem to be a lot of love in the air this week. (Apart from your love of film). There were still plenty of shots shared with us for this weeks #fridayfavourites.

A big Inspiration
A big inspiration for me is Jill Furmanovsky. I’d been at ILFORD for maybe 3 months when I went to a music photography exhibition at Manchester central library. It featured some of her work. Seeing her contact sheet of Joy Division shot on ILFORD HP5 PLUS was what made me start shooting gigs. It was a band I loved on a product I was now helping to make.
Capturing emotion and atmosphere
I started taking the odd picture on a little point and shoot at gigs I was going to. Then I finall...
