I’m Stephen Paul Young, a fine art landscape photographer based in North Hampshire. This blog is where I write about the things I actually do — shooting landscape and film photography in the British countryside, reviewing cameras and film stocks from real field use, and documenting long-term projects rooted in specific places.
Nothing here is written from research alone. If I haven’t shot it, walked it, or used it in the field, I don’t write about it. The writing spans four categories — browse by topic below, or scroll down for the latest posts.
Category
Film Photography
Analogue cameras, film stocks, and the slower art of shooting on film — reviews, guides, and real-world technique from field use. Includes Fomapan, Ilford HP5+, Kentmere, Bronica ETRSi, and more.
Category
Landscape Photography
Writing and photographs rooted in the British countryside — particularly North Hampshire. Long-term engagement with specific places including Calleva Atrebatum, Watership Down, and the surrounding landscape.
Category
Photography Guides & Field Notes
Practical, experience-led guides across landscape, film, composition, ICM, street photography, and more. Written from real time in the field — not from secondary research.
Category
Photography Kit Reviews
Cameras, lenses, and film stocks reviewed from real ownership and field use — not for affiliate income or capital gain. Includes Canon R5, RF lenses, Bronica ETRSi, and a range of 35mm and medium format film stocks.
