"Meow."

As part of our interview series, we couldn't conclude without speaking to the most important member of staff, Phoebe. A member of staff for 7 years, Phoebe shows off her favourite cameras, her love for treats (important) and her Pro Gaming career.

'This hobby has provided me with incredible experiences, introducing me to individuals from diverse backgrounds'

Wrapping up our series of staff interviews is none other than 'Mr. Worldwide' himself, Ethan. In his interview, Ethan tells us about his love for colour film, overhyped cameras and his misadventures in photography.

'I like to think about my photos more when I take them, and the process of using film forces me to slow down and consider each shot.'

Our next interviewee in our staff interview series is our dedicated cat-drawer, Louisa. In this interview, Louisa tells us about her Caffe Nero addiction, her journey into photography, and her favourite part about being at West Yorkshire Cameras.

'The shop has really shown me how to tell when people are genuinely interested in learning and creating something.'

Up next in our series of staff interviews, it's none other than Howard Parker, the owner of West Yorkshire Cameras. Howard tells us about his photography, why Ilford Delta 400 is unmatched and offers a step-by-step guide on how to best attach a spoiler to your Box Brownie.

'The ‘click, click, click’ of shooting digital meant I couldn’t slow down and focus. When I discovered film, I enjoyed the process of stepping back and slowing down.'

Continuing our series of staff interviews is none other than our resident scouser, Steve. In this interview, Steve explains to us how he got into film photography, his developing process and how you can still take great photos on a battered old Rolleicord.
