ABOUT
Heritage Craft Photography is where we share an old time photography art form, taking photos with vintage & antique cameras, on vintage sets and in historical locations as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone. In an age where instant gratification and digital enhancement dominate the photography world, we are here to share the natural beauty of imperfections and idiosyncrasies that can be found in vintage & antique film cameras. These imperfections tell a tale of authenticity and uniqueness, reminding society of the beauty that lies in the small imperfections we often overlook as a piece of Art.

Analogue Photography Projects, a platform dedicated to challenging the modern perception that photography has become overly polished and sterile. In this era dominated by digital technology and the ability to meticulously edit images to remove any imperfections, I am here to celebrate the unique beauty found in those flaws. Through my personal journey Mastering The Art Of Antique Photography, I have developed a deep passion for capturing moments using vintage and antique cameras that date back from the late 19th to the mid-20th Century.
After immersing in different cultures and landscapes for over two decades, I have come to realise that travel is not just about sightseeing or ticking off bucket list destinations. It is a journey of personal growth and enlightenment, where each road trip and exploration adds to the currency of knowledge and understanding. Through my photography and storytelling, I aim to share the magic of travel and inspire others to embark on their own journey of enlightenment. As we wander through stunning locations and seek out unique historical backdrops, we are not just capturing moments in time but also capturing the essence of a transformative and enlightening experience. Join me on this journey of discovery and let travel be your guide to a deeper understanding of the world and yourself.
