Has it stopped yet? Seven Giraffe hiding from the rain! This image was taken at the fabulous Longleat Safari Park, a few moments before this image was captured these Giraffe were happily walking around the massive enclosures that they reside in. Out of nowhere the sky becomes overcast with dark, heavy clouds that stretch across the horizon, creating a gloomy and somber atmosphere and the dreaded persistent rainfall began. As everyone began running for shelter including my family! I stayed out to watch the response from the Giraffes . Within seconds the Giraffes had become very despondent with the rain and legged it back to this shelter. They nearly all turned around and poked their heads out off the shelter as if they were watching and waiting for it to stop! Its at this point I clicked the shutter on the Hasselblad and ran for cover myself. Shot using my trusted Hasselblad 500 C/M medium format camera using Ilford Hp5 film. The film is then hand developed by me in my home Darkroom to meet my own exact requirements. Developing film and exposing film can be a dark art to achieve the best negatives to print from.

A wide range of environments and medium types are explored in the works of Suffolk based Ben Nichols. The English-born (1980) artist who is a self taught photographer has been inspired by the likes of Ansel Adams, Michael Kenna and Colin Prior. He is best known for his black and white fine art landscape photographs that portray a sense surrealist minimalism. Bens images visualises beyond the realm of what is natural reality. Their extraordinary tonal range trough both an analogue and digital workflow provides an artistic vision which shows clarity and also the imperfections of film, Bens meticulously planned atmospheric landscapes powerfully and synthetically link needs and desires to mankind and the land. Often Ben is found In mountainous and remote parts of the UK looking for that wild and surrealistic moment in time, often found sleeping in his car whilst capturing long exposures on film at night with some exposures running on for hours! As well as spending time in some of the UK'S most famous wild landscapes he is often found along coastal areas creating beautiful seascape images. Ben is passionately dedicated to using an analogue workflow using his trusted Hasselblad 500 C/M cameras and kodak / Ilford films and is often found spending hours in his home studio moulding a negative into a Silver Gelatine Print. Ben Still hand develops his own films using home made chemistry from raw chemicals. Most silver Gelatin Prints are individually bleached and toned again, using home made chemistry to give each image the visual character they deserve. Along with using film Ben also uses digital photography as both a medium and hybrid workflow creating digital negatives that can then be contact printed onto Silver Gelatin Paper in the darkroom along with modern inkjet printing methods. Ben has been fortunate in the past to have been supported by companies such as Hasselblad, LEE Filters and DJI for photography projects and has ongoing support from LEE Filters as one of their Creators.
