Peter Greenhalf is one of a small number of photographers working today who still print and tone Black and White silver gelatin images by hand, in

the traditional way.  He works in his own dark room, at his studio by the sea. After developing the photographic image Peter treats it with a range of

toners such as Selenium, Sepia or Gold, to create a warmth and depth of colour unusual in Black and White printing.

His interest lies in the technical difficulty and unpredictable nature of employing so many toners on each image, because the chemicals always

react differently.  Each time he develops and tones an image he gets a different result.  No two photographs can ever be the same: each one is

unique.
