Photography
I am a semi-amateur photographer and always will be. Photography is an escape for me, it is a chance to slow down and take a closer look at things I might have otherwise not noticed.
I shoot 35mm film with a fully manual single lens reflex camera. I process the film myself to control contrast, grain, and tones. To have complete control over the finished image I print on a variety of photographic papers and will use selenium and/or sepia toners to improve longevity and aesthetics.
If you see any images you like please consider purchasing a print from my etsy store: HERE. Not all of the images here are listed on etsy; if you see an image you like please contact me by email and I can craft your favorite print using the best combination of papers and toners. All prints are handmade in a darkroom on black and white silver gelatin photographic papers. If you have a special effect you're looking to achieve or photo project in mind let me know. aaron@aaronoakes.com
