Tori King-Blake

“Hey, my name is Tori, currently studying in Bristol. I am a lover of film photography with influences from women photographers such as Vivian Maier, Sirkka-Liisa-Konttinen and Nan Goldin. I love analogue photography because of its rich, deep textures and natural colours as well as the slower shooting process leading to a more disciplined and focused craft. I think my favourite part of shooting film is the anticipation of the unknown image. While the time passes and I drop my film off at the lab and wait some days to get the scans back, there is an exciting anxiety within me to see the images. Anything or nothing could be there, and that anticipation is what I love the most. In a world of instant gratification, slowing down and appreciating what I have made is so important to me.”
