Little Vintage Photography

Little Vintage Photography I use film photography & vintage cameras to make something a bit special. Embrace the unique, imperf We embrace the unique, imperfect and beautiful.

Little Vintage Photography is all about the lost art, subtle science and magical fun of film photography. The original Instagram if you will...

We are looking to offer a unique photographic experience using vintage and retro film cameras and print processes at workshops, events, weddings, festivals and just about anything else you can think of! If you feel the same please get in touch. We'd be ha

It's development time! Come process this RPS project in the Darkroom with me.

The 40% Project has been an ambitious plan for women photographers from to take portraits of as many of the women MPs (who now make up 40% of parliament) as possible.

I was fortunate to meet and work with (Liverpool's first black female MP) to capture a series of portraits, along the North Dock area of Liverpool.

It is a location that is meaningful to both of us.

For Kim, as a symbol of the connecting link between the north and south, the diverse communities that make up this city, and the port industry it was built on... For me, as the place I first came to in 1999, and where I first set up my business back in 2014 teaching people the traditional craft of how to shoot with film and print by hand in the darkroom.

I moved to this city 25 years ago and remember many journeys along these roads.

It's where I started, with one small desk at .cic North Docks (making cyanotypes on the windowsill and pinhole cameras from fruits and vegetables!) and from which, I have since built my full B&W Darkroom within - one of the first female-owned / run darkroom spaces in the UK.

However, there's always more to a story than the 'highlights reel'...

Sadly my RPS membership ran out halfway through the project and I wasn't in a position to renew it, then my first conversation with Kim to discuss the project took place outside the emergency ward in a hospital in the Midlands because my Dad suddenly became incredibly ill with sepsis...
..So in light of this, and given all the upheaval with my Dad's health over the past few months, it's something of a surprise that it actually managed to happen at all!

Thankfully Kim and her team were very understanding, I was asked to continue taking part, and I was reminded that we're nothing, if not resilient.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to sharing more of the BTS with you, and I'll keep you posted on the details for the exhibition when I know more.

If you have any questions, give me a shout and I'll do my best to answer them. 📸🎞️✨

Well, I survived the 'Tiny Jungle' that is running an activity with a class of twenty-five 3yr olds! 😂 - many thanks to those who checked in on me 🤣 much appreciated.

It was complete chaos, we had some interesting discussions about UV light, and they all did brilliantly!

I'm also super proud to say that my daughter has made her very first cyanotype photograph too! Hurray!

She even asked me for a roll of film for her camera when we got home, so... I think I'm going to have to put in an order for her soon!

If you'd like your own simple, non-messy, accessible, eco-friendly, ready-coated Cyanotype kit for science and art fun in the sun with the kids (and for grownups!), you can grab one from the shop on my website (link 🔗 in bio)

Just add daylight and water! (And a little imagination)

I can't stop thinking about an interaction I had in the park.

It'd been a packed weekend & I'd NEARLY managed to get C back to the car, when I saw a Mum and her 3 teenage children on this tiny patch of grass by the road.

She was desperately trying to get a photo of them with the daffodils. I knew the kids were a bit 'done now' ,  but I could still hear her valiantly trying to get a quick shot.

It was only a few seconds and they were about to walk off. 

I realised she would have nothing to show (or for them to see) that SHE HAD BEEN THERE TOO. 

I quickly asked if she'd like to be in a photo with them, and she had that panicked, 'oh god...I HATE being in photos' look in her eyes.

I turned and looked at my 3 year old daughter watching this exchange, then turned back and said quietly to the mother... It's important you know? Sometimes YOU need to be in the photos with them too. 

She suddenly relaxed and I realised that, incredibly, I'd just given her permission to appear in a photo alongside her own children. Wow.

I took it quickly (not my best sadly, but at least it exists!) and off they went.

And I continued to stand there and wonder... why do parents (often and especially mothers) struggle sooo much to be in the photo? 

I don't have (and won't ever have) any photos of my daughter with my Mum, but I'm going to make damn sure I'm in some of them with her. 

Even if it's a selfie on a phone and I've got bags under my eyes and unwashed hair (which were all true this weekend 😂). 

Because I deserve (and my daughter deserves) to see me there with her too. As I am today, in all it's unfiltered realness, and not just as a dream for a future 'picture perfect' moment, that may never arrive. 

Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation? Did you take the photo? Were you in the photo?

If any of this has resonated with you, please see this as YOUR permission slip to be IN that next photo with your loved ones too.

p.s. If you want to learn how to get your old film camera out from the back of the cupboard, & finally start capturing beautiful, imperfect and MEANINGFUL photos again, the 'Shoot & Process Workshop' might be perfect. Click the Workshop 🔗 in bio

It's all going on! - Fair to say it's been a busy few days since returning from 😎📸🎞️ so here's a little run down... (swipe to see)

Still buzzing from a workshop with .since8703 plus some hire time for today, an international Virtual Film Development Party at the weekend with some wonderful new and familiar faces...

Then hosting the monthly Baltic Photo Club this evening with a fascinating talk from on Hybrid Pictorialism which was such a treat!

Phew! And breathe.

Time for a couple of days on parenting duty (you all know how relaxing that will be) but make sure to put the dates for April & May in the calendar if you're interested in coming along to the next online or in-person meet up!

All the info & dates via littlevintagephotography.co.uk/membership or drop me a line and I'll send you the link !
