Umbrellas in Le Marais, Paris Photograph

Alan began photographing the streets of London in the 1960s when he also began black-and-white darkroom printing. In the 1980s he began colour printing and switched to digital around the millennium. He retired from a teaching career to pursue photography full-time and, shortly thereafter, was made an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society. He studied black-and-white digital printing under George De Wolfe and today specialises in making museum quality prints of his work in both black-and-white and colour. He shoots mostly with Leica lenses. Having lived in Missoula, Montana for four decades (where he participates in the Fine Grain Group), Alan and his wife currently divide their time between Montana and London.
