In this video, I head out to shoot 4×5 colour negative film for the first time in four years, finally beginning a long-term project documenting WWII defence structures across England. This is work I’ve been talking about for years, and I’ve promised myself that 2026 is the year I stop planning and start doing. Over two days, I visit a couple of locations, shooting Portra 160 and Ektar on the Horseman 45FA. After spending a long stretch working exclusively in black and white, it feels good to return to colour.
