FUJI 6x9
Fuji GW690III Professional 6x9 camera, made in Japan by Fuji in 1992, discontinued in 2003.
I actually own two of these cameras, the first I saw in the window of Jessops and I had to have it so I took out a £500 hire purchase loan to buy it in. I used it locally in my year 2000 series 36 Minutes in Cambridgeshire and in the 2003 Cottenham series I was commissioned to do as the format really fitted the landscape nature of the projects.
I used it in America shooting Dream in Colour in my early trips on pictures like Adult Entertainment, Texaco Marine and Road to Gunsight.
This large camera is extremely light which makes it great to carry as part of my kit. It's a simple mechanical camera to use as there are no electronics. It's got a rangefinder to focus so you have to use your imagination and experience to create the shot. But it makes great big negatives that you can really take large without too much grain so I love what I can achieve with it which is why when my first one died I did buy a replacement.
I have used this camera when shooting DEJAVU although I haven't made the prints yet, below are some raw images from my contact sheets which is motivating me to get in the darkroom to print them up large scale.

Sizes may vary slightly from image to image as we make each composition from the negative individually, either showing Richard's signature ragged edge (white border) as he prints full frame or showing the film rebate (black border) often showing the film make. Where the image size varies we adjust the window mount in order to maintain a frame size so like for like sizes can hang together.

Artwork Description
Richard makes the c-type prints from negative in his own analogue colour darkroom in Cambridge. His paper of choice is Kodak Professional Endura Premier Gloss. When Richard has chosen to evolve the artwork, we work with Streamline Colour Lab. In our studio the print is dry-mounted to dibond which ensures a very flat image surface in both the short and long term. The prints are matted (window mounted) using a museum quality 100% cotton rag board especially manufactured to be compatible with the C-type archival Kodak photographic paper Richard uses. Richard does all mounting himself, using his precision engineering background to create the finished artwork. Eleanor fits the artworks to the frames. Traditionally photographic prints are signed and numbered on the back, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. They can be signed on the front of the mount by request. If you would like us to make a larger artwork that is possible, the sizes listed are the largest we can make in our darkroom but we can go larger with our printing partners so please get in touch to discuss it.
Framing Description
Our frames are hand-made in the UK by Menor Photographic Fine Art Printing & Framing Specialists in Hertfordshire. We offer a choice of black or white wooden box frames which have depth to suit the size of the picture, the artwork set back from the glass. Our black frames are made from matt ebony stained obeche, in which you can see the detail of the wood grain whereas our white frames are made from beech and the wood grain is not visible. The wood is sustainably forested for both variations of frame. Artglass AR 70™ is a premium anti-reflective glass used by the finest museums around the world. If you would like to present you artwork in another way, we offer the choice to buy an unframed print only and can advise you on other options or recommend reputable companies to carry out the work.
