For this project, and most of my photographic work, I will be working with a selection of retro/vintage cameras that have been passed down to me from a relative from Uist who can no longer use them due to deteriorating eyesight. The cameras range from around 1920-1960, with a couple exceptions. They are mostly 120, medium format view/range finders, they shoot a mixture of 6×6 and 6×9 negatives which will allow me to capture some very detailed and create shots with that characteristic medium format depth.
The cameras in question are…
A Minolta Autocord TLR, 6×6, 1953-1966
A Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta, Rangefinder, 6×9, 1952
A Voigtlander Vitomatic 1b, Viewfinder, 35mm, 1965
With my current project focusing heavily on the aesthetics of brutalism, I felt the vibe and style of images that these cameras produce would greatly benefit the timeless and stoic nature of the buildings that will be the focal point of the project.
