What's your style and goals? / どういうスタイル、目標ですか?)
Not sure what my style is but lots of people seem to like it. Darkness has always been a theme. Instead of 'available light' I suppose 'available darkness' would be one way to put it: moody, brooding, gritty. Adjectives other people have used to describe it.

I spent three years at art college in the UK, at the end of the 1980s, and learned all my craft on film and in darkrooms. Have been shooting since I was seven years old and have shot everything from half-frame 35mm to 10x8 inch plates. Mostly shoot digital SLR these days but still shoot film [35, medium and large formats] when I have the time.

Goals for the next 12 months? I am on the list to be judged for an exhibition at the Nikon Salon in Ginza, so I hope that comes off; want to translate shooting for Glastonbury Festival and lots of bands in the UK to shooting at Fuji Rock soon; to finish the book I am making of my work; and to hit the big time! Am also starting a photo agency this year with five fellow Tokyo photographers.
Previous projects, exhibitions? / 過去に行ったプロジェクト、展示会などは?
Have had lots of work published in the music press over the years, from BBC Music Magazine to The Independent newspaper in the UK. Was head photographer and picture editor for the Glastonbury Festival official website in 2002; exhibited in London, Bristol, Wales, Sheffield and more. Have also exhibited in Tokyo and have two more shows planned for 2008/9 so far.
Cameras used: / カメラの種類は?
Nikon D300, Nikon F3, Rolleicord, Mamiya 67, Fuji 6x9, MPP Mk.8 5x4 field camera, Sinar P1, Hasselblad, Olympus OM series, Leica M3-M6, Mamiya C220 and 330, Bronica ETRS and SQA amongst others...

Photo Nite: my verdict

I am never entirely sure what to expect from networking evenings, apart from having the opportunity to meet some new people and, well, network. The concept of Photo Nite is excellent and what attracted me to it was the opportunity the organisers alluded to of meeting people who were in the business of either commissioning or buying photography. In addition to this, there was a chance to have one of my pieces of work on the wall, have it auctioned and attract some interest that way.

As it panned… Continue

My favorite photo so far is the one with the train guy (Shinkansen?) looking back. Excellent timing! Hope to see you at the exhibition next month.

Cheers,

Walter

Thank you Alfie for voting for my photo. I loved your site and your work. In fact I was looking for a professional foreign photographer. Let's stay in touch so we can help each other and benefit too. Check my site: www.kardan.jp (not a public site. Just for my clients.)
