Framed prints of Tower bridge and London on the move. Using slow shutter speeds

London Bridge is synonymous with commuters. Capturing the flowing movement of people and traffic against the static presence of Tower Bridge in the background requires a slower shutter speed than usual. The camera also needed to be mounted on a sturdy tripod to ensure the Tower Bridge element of the image remained sharp while the surrounding motion softened.

I also have a panoramic version of the image above; the long, thin frame perfectly complements the bridge and the flowing stream of commuters. You can see this particular framed print here. The print below is another example of blurred movement — a colour photograph taken in Grand Central Station in New York that captures the bustling energy of the terminal. You can see it here.

The prints below all feature some movement. When I was 24 I won a competition in The Amateur Photographer magazine. I was an amateur then, and I began working professionally at 25. The competition I entered focused on cityscapes, and I submitted three prints in the "Movement" category. I won a pack of Ilford black and white film as the prize. I must have that picture and a copy of the magazine tucked away in my garage somewhere.

These photographs were all taken on film, and I continue to work with film today. I’m comfortable with the medium and genuinely love the tactile, hands-on process of making my own prints. Each image is produced as a limited edition, and, like the prints themselves, the frames are also carefully made by hand.
