Hello! I am Timothy Mowson a photographer based in Reading who specializes in vintage camera repair and analogue photography. The photos I take are all on my own vintage cameras, the majority of which I have repaired myself. These vary from a 1902 Kodak Brownie No.2 box camera, through a 1948 Zeiss Ikon Ercona, an instant 1980s Polaroid One-Step Flash, to a 1966 Miranda Sensorex SLR.

I always feel like the art of analogue photography is in the deliberate choices taken to store a memory, and I am more likely to appreciate a photo when there is thought and feeling stored along with the image. I first started with analogue photography when I noticed I didn’t really look at my camera roll, or go over photos after I had taken them. This was not for a lack of photos, I had 1000s, but the number and ease at which they were taken often led to low quality or forgettable photos. I first picked up a polaroid to take photos with my friends as a teenager. From there I bought a Cosmic Symbol 35mm point and shoot where I was able to get photos not only of my friends, but of refracting light and interesting abstracts. The above is one of the first I took, its not the best picture but I am still proud of how light is captured through a prism in my window.
