- [Martin Scarland (Anniversary)](https://scarland.com/martin-scarland-anniversary/): Today is my 5 year anniversary.  I was going to simply swap my old portrait with this one, but could not quite bring myself to do that as that last portrait from back in 2012 was from a very different time and it reminds me of many different  things.  I also love its anonymous nature – it is not obvious like this one.  This image has the same audio as the last portrait but have a listen if you have not previously.

- [Test Portrait](https://scarland.com/test-portrait/): This came about due to having an idea for my next audio portrait where I wanted to shoot with as fast a shutter speed as possible.  I knew that the leaf shutter on my medium format camera should sync right up to 500th of a second, but I had never tested it so was not totally convinced and wanted to check this out beforehand. We had friends staying so I asked their 8 year old son if he would mind being my model and he agreed, which was cool.  Having a house full of people and not wanting this to take too long, […]
- [Martin Scarland](https://scarland.com/scarland/): Martin Scarland This is a Pinhole photograph I took in January 2012.

He very kindly agreed. So 10 days later I went back to take the photos. This is what I […]

After making the camera and doing some initial tests I embarked on a fresh project, which I called “100 prayers”. The idea was to spend the long exposure time praying. In doing so I was joining two areas of my life which I had in the past kept separate. In doing this I felt I was welcoming God into my creative process. I talk more about this in my Substack if that interests you please visit […]

- [About](https://scarland.com/about/): My journey so far My interest in photography began the Christmas after my 15th birthday when I got my first 35mm SLR camera. I quickly became obsessed. The following year I received a darkroom kit and my father converted his office into a darkroom, which started my journey into film processing and darkroom printing. Then followed 2 college courses studying photography where my interests started moving towards large format studio photography. When I left college, I worked for a commercial photographic studio in Tonbridge as an assistant where we photographed anything from cars to conservatories. I have fond memories of […]
