l have a habit of accidentally getting myself into things and this was definitely the case with the Big Film Photowalk. I saw the advert on an Instagram story and thought “that’d be a nice excuse to shoot a roll of film” and off I went to the website only…

Sony are synonymous with innovation and have overseen the development of some monumentally successful product releases that have changed the markets in which they have entered. Walkman, Betamax and Playstation will instantly spring to mind for anyone who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s and, with the exception of…
