Ian Barber Photography

At our studio, we are passionate about capturing life's moments and preserving memories through the art of photography. Our journey in photography began many years ago, and since then, we have been constantly learning and evolving as photographers. Our primary focus is on black and white photography, which we believe to be timeless and transcendent in its ability to capture the essence of life.

Our Services

We offer a range of services, including black and white photography, film development, and printing. We use traditional darkroom chemistry to develop our film, resulting in high-quality negatives. Each negative is then scanned using either an Epson V800 or Minolta DImage MultiScan Pro scanner. This process allows us to ensure the highest level of image quality and tone.

Film Photography Process

In our film photography process, we use a variety of black and white films, including Ilford HP5 and FP4, as well as FomaPan 200 for large format. Each film is carefully processed using traditional darkroom chemistry, ensuring that every negative is of the highest quality.

Digital Photography Process

When using a digital camera, we capture images in RAW format. Each raw file is then imported into Adobe Lightroom, where we use it as our main cataloguing program. All post-processing is performed using Adobe Photoshop.

Black and White Printing

We have dedicated years to mastering the art of printing black and white photographs using Epson printers and a variety of fine art papers. Our printing process ensures that each image is of the highest quality and tone.

Colour Work

Although the majority of our personal projects revolve around black and white photography, we also create colour photographs using our Nikon D3s digital SLR camera.
