Harry's camera, film and prints

The camera

Harry’s camera is called a Gandolifi. It is heavy and made from brass.

The film

The negative is sized 10x8 inches and gives the final print extraordinary detail. For example, when photographing a creek with clouds beyond and bushes in the foreground a small high quality camera would capture these key features. However Harry’s camera also reproduces pinsharp quite small objects in the field of view and this gives the final image a special quality.

 

The photographic prints

The prints range in size from 20x16 inches to 8x6 feet. Here is an example of one of Harry’s larger prints. It measures 2 metres by 1 metre.

About Harry Cory Wright

Harry uses just one camera, one lens and never carries much film.

He began his professional career with private commissions for promotional images and still life work for interior magazines such as Country Living and Homes and Gardens.

Harry’s fascination with photographing the coast began in the early '90s when he used a 35 mm Leica camera for an exhibiton of photographs with subjects from Spain and the islands of Lewis and Harris. If you ask Harry why the coastline inspires he simply says “we all love to be by the sea; it’s so immediately exciting”.

Since 1995 Harry has taken his photographs with the large format Gandolfi camera, focusing on different elements of the coastlines of Britain and Ireland. During the past three years Harry's work has attracted a significant amount of national press interest.
