WELCOME TO PHOTOGRAPHIQUE

~ petit & unique specialist photo lab ~

@phillipaklaiber checking in for day 4 of my @photographiqueuk take over, this time with photographs from the Land is Ours. For 2 years I followed the growth and destruction of a community of eco-farmers squatting on an area of disused scrub land. Their aim was to build a form of sustainable agriculture, to support themselves and provide for the local community. In the early days they reared animals, planted the first seasons of crops and attempted to redesign the social hierarchy of the outside world to be more equal and inclusive.

@phillipaklaiber here posting for day 3 of my @photographiqueuk take over with the final images I'll be sharing of the Free Miners.

Duncan is a vern, a Free Miner in training working with the miners who collect ochre pigments in the mines that were once mined for iron ore. The pigment occurs in four colours, Yellow, orange, red and purple and is used by artists.

Since the local maternity hospital closed, the number of young people eligible to become Free Miners will have dropped considerably. But there are still a few older miners determined to keep their way of life going and continue working beneath the forest.

@phillipaklaiber here for day 2 of my @photographiqueuk instagtam take over with more photos from my Free Miners project.

This is Robin who had his own coal mine and could always be found there. He often worked alone underground, maintaining his tracks and putting in new support timbers.

I joined Robin and the Harding brothers on a chilly winter morning. Before the sun rose the brothers headed underground with their headlamps on, ready for their eyes to adjust to the pitch black that envelopes you a few steps into the entrance. They took a thermos of tea and stayed in the mine for 3 hours, filling the cart with coal.

@phillipaklaiber here sharing work on the @photographiqueuk page this week. I will be posting work from three projects, including a new one on gypsies and travellers that I have started this summer, and telling the stories of the people I photograph with each post.

This is Ray, who was a Free Miner of the Forest of Dean, in South West England. It is a lot like conventional mining, but with one difference that sets it apart. To become a Free Miner you must be born within the ancient boundary of this forest and work for atleast a year and a day with a qualified miner. When he deems you fit, you can register as a Free Miner and open your own mine of coal or iron ore.

Today there are still a handful of small mines, worked by a few men, that fluctuate in productivity. .

We are working on resolving this problem and will have it back up and running as soon as we can.

All our other services; film, digital and otherwise are available as usual.

Keep posted and sorry for any inconveniences!

Evening everyone, @timpearse_photo here, on my final day taking over the @photographiqueuk insta feed. Today I wanted to share with you a couple of photographs from a small documentary that I've been working on for the past year. 40 years work follows my father during his last year of running his mechanic's workshop. He has been on the same site in the village ever since his father gave him the premises, but due to the passage of #time, and the state of the motor trade, he's having to shut up shop. The garage is going to eventually become a housing estate, ending one chapter of village life, but starting a new one too.
I'd like to thank @photographiqueuk for letting me take over their account this week, it's been fun. If you'd like to see more of my work, check out my website at www.timpearse.co.uk. See you soon! ✌️📸

Hello again! @timpearse_photo here, taking over the Photographique instagram. A lot of my current work is evolving more towards #abstraction in form, taking #inspiration from #modernist #painting and #graphic #design. I love #ambiguity in my photography, which is a visual device I've tended to lean towards in the majority of my images, giving more room for the #imagination to wander.

Hi all! @timpearse_photo here taking over the @photographiqueuk insta feed.
Today I thought I'd share with you an image which I think is a good example of experimental process. This #lith print was made from a medium format #negative that was left undisturbed in my #darkroom for twelve years, laying flat on a shelf with a single droplet of ammonium thiosulphate placed on the surface. The #chemical reaction that has taken place over such a long period has physically and visually recorded the passage of #time. An interesting #experiment, which could be something to attempt to develop in the #future.
