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

ppy to sit down for a cuppa and a chat about what we can offer you or how we can collaborate with you. We also sell prints of all our work, so if anything takes your fancy, please just get in touch for sizes and prices. :)

Thanks for visiting Little Vintage Photography!

Well, I survived the 'Tiny Jungle' that is running an activity with a class of twenty-five 3yr olds! πŸ˜‚ - 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 πŸ”— 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' ,Β  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.Β 

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

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.Β 

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?Β 

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.Β 

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 πŸ˜‚).Β 

Because I deserve (and my daughter deserves) to see me there with her too.Β 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.Β 

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 πŸ”— in bio

Incredibly proud to have been an (inadvertently!) behind the scenes part of the wonderful panel for International Women's Day yesterday with the discussion - Underexposed: Women & Minority Genders in Analogue Photography

My fellow panelists absolutely smashed it and despite being stuck in bed feeling absolutely horrendous, I was still able to watch it via a video call from my amazing assistant

Can't wait to see the full thing on the GoPro recording and hopefully I'll be able to share that with you all!

I've been so sad to miss many of you this weekend, but I'm determined to be back tomorrow & Tuesday on Stand E80.

Come and find the 'Heritage Photography Experience' where you can make a cyanotype or take a look at how I create paper portraits by touch, 'in-camera', pick up a Workbook, or a kit, ask me questions about membership or book a Workshop!

...And that's a wrap on the very first Baltic Photo Club!

Huge thanks to everyone who battled through the wind and rain on an incredibly blustery evening and came along to take part!

It was brilliant to meet new people (and a few familiar faces) who are passionate about their photography, to find out more about such diverse photographic focus, and discover a wealth of knowledge connecting in the room together.

If there's interest, I'd love to host another edition in January and hopefully it'll give an opportunity for those who sadly couldn't make it this evening, to come along, join in the conversation and take a look around the
