Welcome to The Artcasts website, I’m an artist and photographer based in Bucks with over 30 years experience.

I'm fascinated by cameras from the 1800s to the modern era. I create tintypes (silver based photographs on black metal), ambrotypes (images on glass), film and paper negatives. I also enjoy alternative processes such as cyanotype and lumen printing. When I'm not buying and selling old cameras & lenses, I offer negative and slide scanning, I can also provide various photography services.

I am keen to assist anyone would like to learn more about photography, be it digital, 35mm, 120, 4x5 or with old bellows cameras. If you are interested in getting off auto on your DSLR, buying a 35mm film camera or want to shoot a 4x5 tintype or just want some straight forward, non patronising camera advice, do please get in touch via the CONTACT page with your requirements. Thank you!

I have recently become a member of the Heritage Craft National Charity, for more details please click below...
