About Steve Gaskin Photography

About

I became interested in photography over 40 years ago having bought my first 35mm camera, an Halina Paulette Electric. I certainly 'got the bug' and experimented in home processing of black and white film and then became a big fan of reversal slide film. I still have hundreds of slides and a working projector. Eventually the 'digital age' took hold, my first camera being a Kodak 1 megapixel camera, yes one megapixel, before moving on to several Nikons with a number of different lenses. I always wanted a Leica camera; Leica introduced the 35mm film format to the world in the early 30's, and after initially buying a compact version made in collaboration with Panasonic, I then 'bit the bullet' and invested and thoroughly enjoy using both rangefinder and mirrorless Leica's.

Whilst digital photography is now very much the 'norm', I wanted to create a small collection of 'classic' film cameras, many of which I sold when working in retail. I've chosen models from the iconic manufacturers of the time; Olympus OM2n, Minolta SRT101b, Nikon FE, Canon A1 and a Pentax Spotmatic F as well as Leica. Of the two Leica's I have acquired, the oldest is a 1948 111c fitted with a 1933 Summar lens. Even at over 70 years old this mechanical beauty still functions perfectly.

My main photographic passions are street photography and landscapes and I like to explore different viewpoints in everyday situations. I've also come to love monochrome more and more and feel that it provides another perspective to explore.

I hope you enjoy my pictures, my portfolio and projects hopefully will continue to grow so please keep checking back.
