My name is Ash Smith and I am UK-based street photographer, with a background in fine art and graphic design. Inspired by early street photography colorists like Saul Leiter and Fred Herzog, I search out great light, color, and texture to capture intriguing moments in daily life. I am fascinated less by portraits, but more by gestures and expressions and observing how people interact with their environment. Interesting light plays a big part in my work and when out shooting I find that’s the first thing I look for, then I will wait for the right person to come and interact with it.

Makoto spoke to us in a bit more depth about the camera–stemming from the design, who it is for, and even the autofocus.

Kodak released the Kodak ProImage 100 35mm film in 1997 but – surprise, surprise – it wasn’t until around the middle of this year that it finally made the emulsion widely available in Europe.
