About Artist

David Payne

Dedicated BNW Photographer who sold his Leica Q2 Monochrom and has returned to the world of Analog / Film Photography using my old Nikon FM3A, F100 and FE2 cameras combined with the Voitländer 40mm ULTRON, 58mm NOKTON and 90mm APO-SKOMAR Trinity of fine lenses. Using Black, White and the 9 shades of Gray in between to create my interpretations of the world around me.
