About Edge Images

This is the website of Mark Tomlinson. Mark takes photographs using various digital and analogue technologies. In the darkroom he mainly prints using lith techniques which produce unique images. Digitally he uses various equipment such as Sony full frame cameras. For digital processing he uses Capture One, Lightroom, Silver Efex Pro and On1, and prints with an Epson 3880 and Canon Pro1000 printer. The majority of his work is in black and white. Street photography has been a serious interest and he teaches postgraduate students Visual Research Methods as part of the Master’s degree programmes in Sociology at the University of Sheffield in England. He is currently designing an undergraduate course on the sociology of photography from a theoretical and practical point of view.
