Remember our man Antony Cairns?

He has recently released a limited series of books. Each one individually put together and filled with a series of stunning hand made prints by the young printing master.
A unique and abstract look at the capital of the world where Antony lives. As a Londoner and fan of Antony’s work i had to grab a copy.

Antony Cairns – Serious about his printing

16.06.2009 (10:57 pm) – Filed under: Black and White,Film Photographers,Printers ::

Tony is a bizarre character, by night he is a DJ smashing out tunes and a master of modern day DJ equipment but by day (when not hunched over an archive he works for) he puts on his tweed and gets down to some serious old-skool black and white printing!

Top three cameras: 5×4 MPP field camera, Weltaflex twin lens reflex camera, Minox
Top three films: Agfa APX 100 Black and White, Ilford Delta 3200, Fuji Neopan 400

In the future: “Experiment more with antique photographic processes”

Why analogue: “Because it’s a chemical process using sunlight, the source of life, digital photography is pure simulation”
