Andrew Chisholm

I live & work in a former Salvation Army chapel in Nunhead, SE15. I returned to uni to study photography, graduating from University of Westminster with a BA in Photography in 2013.

My practice is based around traditional analogue photographic materials. I don't set much store by 'analogue is best' arguments, but I enjoy handling the physical materials and exploring what happens when you treat them in ways that their diligent designers might hope you'd refrain from.

I started making small pieces of equipment for an earlier project, Unknown Persons, to help me make the extreme enlargements I was aiming for. From there, I made most of the set up for Watergram project.

Making equipment and reconfiguring processes is now a central part of my practice. For the figurative photograms, I recently finished a 'Light Synthesiser' which enables me to make light of any colour I choose. As of late 2015, I've only just begun to explore the huge range of possibilities this opens up.
