About the "Fixa"

I'm JR. and I'm the senior Photo "Fixa". I'm passionate about the work that I do and the end  result.   

I have significant experience in the digital photographic sphere along with the traditional and time honored art of analogue darkroom development of colour and black and white photographs and I apply these skills and understanding of traditional methods to digitally enhance and bring back to life, your cherished photos...  and your memories. 

I have received winning and highly commended awards for landscape painting along with awards for analogue and digital photographs.    

Many of my own photos have been taken on vintage cameras (including a pinhole camera and 1950's German Franka Solida bellows camera) to get a better understanding of the "old world" look, yet I use the new world state-of-the-art editing platforms to restore old photos. 

Early 19th century French-born Master Photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson best sums up my philosophy to photography...He wrote "it is an illusion that photos are made with the camera, moreover, they are made with the eye, heart, head AND the camera".
