David Ellwand was born in Liverpool, but grew up in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, where he worked in a camera shop and studied photography before a varied career in both commercial and fine art photography. Ellwand published his first photographic book for children in 1995. 20 years and over 20 books later, he continues to work with traditional darkroom methods as well as with the latest digital technology. The cameras here are all from his personal collection, amassed through 30 years of obsessive boot sale and auction hunting.

The creative approaches to his art, both in the shooting and the processing of snapshots, is wondrous to behold for anyone, but inspiring and motivating for those who appreciate the craft. From the various Kodak Brownie models to the Ricoh Rangefinder, this museum-quality collection casts a wide scope. From the double lens to the pinhole camera, the approaches to capturing light on film are breathtaking. RetroPhoto is a visual delight.
