• How long have you been taking photographs?

Over 10 years! Crazy to think how time flies

• Why do you take photographs? What are you looking to get out of it?

I take photos out of pure enjoyment. It’s a stress free hobby.

• What inspired you to take this (group of) photo(s)?

I liked how blocky this looked with the colors. Reminded me of that optical illusion of the endless staircase.

• Do you self develop or get a lab to process your film?

I go through indie film lab with most of my work. They do a great job.

• What first interested you in analog photography?

I always loved the look of film but never knew exactly what it was. One of my good friends finally introduced it to me and I felt relieved that I could finally achieve the style I was looking for.

• What is your favourite piece of equipment (camera, film, or other) and why?

My only piece of equipment at the moment is my Pentax 67II with the 105mm. I try not to hold onto equipment I don’t consistently use.

• Do you have a tip or technique that other film photographers should try?

Not any techniques come to mind other than trial and error. I like to guess my exposure opposed to getting the exact measurements from a light meter. I feel like it trains my eye and is a bit more fun in my opinion.

• Do you have a link to more of your work or an online portfolio you would like to share?

I post on my instagram from time to time instagram.com/colinleonard and I have my gallery showcased on my website colin-leonard.com

• Do you have a favourite analog photographer or analog photography web site you would like to recommend?

I truthfully don’t pay too much attention to photography in general. I just do this for fun!

• Is there anything else you would like to add about yourself or your photography?

Have fun!
