Archival record

Documentary film plates

Uncropped 35mm and medium format contact records, exposed solely under indirect north daylight and quiet studio illumination without artificial flash. Each visual study preserves physical emulsion boundaries, frame indexing numbers, and authentic chemical grain.

Catalog series

Selected contact prints

Six silver-gelatin studies cataloged by exposure sequence and negative density. These plates observe tactile paper textures, weathered limestone thresholds, and overcast shadows across interior architectural surfaces. Each photograph is produced as an editioned contact impression on museum-grade cotton substrate.

Working method

Every exposure respects the physical latitude of ambient daylight, preserving tactile silver grain and quiet domestic architecture without digital manipulation. The camera serves as a patient witness to passing weather, material surfaces, and the slow progression of natural shadows.

— Field study

Gelatin silver negative exposed on Kodak Tri-X 400 along the Brittany shoreline during late November twilight. Hand-printed on double-weight warmtone baryta paper, each print undergoes extended chemical washing and unforced air drying to ensure fifty-year archival longevity across private collections.
