My name is Liam Archer and I am a photographer from the little town of Lewes, East Sussex, where I have lived most of my life. I was born in Brighton, only a stone's throw away, where I have also taken some of my most iconic shots. I studied black and white photography in the United States, where much of my family live, and began my photographic journey shooting with 35mm film in various parts of Pennsylvania. In high school I learnt how to develop and print my own photographs in a traditional darkroom, and remember the complex noxious smells from the chemicals used in such spaces like it was yesterday; thankfully digital photography has made the developing process into a much simpler and welcome one. My interest in photography began when I made a pinhole camera for a school project when I was about 7 or 8. I was intrigued how something so simple as a cardboard box with a special piece of paper inside of it could produce something so mysterious and wonderful as a photograph. Growing up in the 90's my first camera was a Polaroid; I fondly remember the chunky design and hum it made as it churned out individual pictures like Kraft Singles. My first SLR camera was a Canon EOS Rebel Ti, also known as the Kiss 5 and 300V, and I still shoot with Canon's to this day as I have always enjoyed and had success using them. My relationship with photography is a long and intimate one born out of curiosity and an appreciation for science and art. My photographs have been widely published, and even though I have only been shooting professionally for a little over two years, one of my images was displayed at an art exhibition at Bastille Design Centre in Paris, not far from where Van Gogh used to live when he resided there in 1886-1888.
