Here is my first publication, ‘Second City’ - a 16 page zine, featuring my black and white street photography.

The pictures were shot in Birmingham on film and hand printed in the Some Cities Birmingham dark room. The zine was made by Rope Press using a risograph machine, so it’s as analogue and local as possible, if that’s what you’re into.

Grab yourself a copy from £3, including UK postage. You can get them from

Had a great time at Rope Press learning the basics of risograph

Email thread between myself and Reece Kennedy from Rope Press

L: Good afternoon! I hope this email finds you well. Myself and three other BA Art and Design students at BIAD are making a publication for along side our exhibition in January 2016. We came to Rope Press a year ago with Stuart Whipps for a brief introduction to your facilities and now we're hoping to book a tutorial or workshop with Rope Press, if this is possible? I look forward to hearing back from you. Best, Larissa.

RK: Hello Larissa, Thanks for the inquiry and great to hear about your project! Are you available on Thursday at 3pm to come to Rope Press ? Thanks, Reece.

L: Hello. Unfortunately we are all not available to make that time. Are you available at all next week, preferably Monday? Best, Larissa

RK: Hi Larissa, When on Monday would be best for you to visit? Thanks, Reece.

L: Hello, Is 2:30pm onwards on Monday okay? We're free until 4:30pm. Hope this is suitable for you. Many thanks, Larissa.

RK: Hi Larissa, Shall we say 3pm on Monday? Thanks, Reece.

L: Afternoon! 3pm would really be perfect. We're really grateful of the time you've made for us and we're looking forward to meeting you. See you then, Larissa.

RK: Hi Larissa. That's really great. See you 3pm on Monday. Thanks, Reece.
