Chris Gatcum has always had a passion for the tactility of film – the physicality of emulsion as opposed to the 0s and 1s that create a digital image. As well as the obligatory digital arsenal, his camera bag bulges with myriad “old timer” cameras uncovered in thrift stores, flea markets, and online auctions. He is the author of Plastic Cameras, 52 Assignments: Experimental Photography (both with Ammonite Press) and is a regular contributor to Black + White Photography magazine. Chris lives in Devon.
