DIGITAL PRODUCTION MANAGER

Richard runs the digital side of Photofusion - scanning, printing, exhibition production, as well as hanging the odd show.

Prior to Photofusion, he worked in London’s second largest pro-lab, followed by six years coordinating high end commercial studios. In his younger days, he worked in various camera stores.

A logic based technical solution finder, he prefers order to chaos, and accepts entropy.

FILM PROCESSING

Nick is solely responsible for all the film processing at Photofusion, developing both colour and black & white films by hand in his processing room in the new premises at Beehive Place.

He learnt his trade in photographic printing, in the late 1980’s, from black & white master printer Gene Nocon.

When Gene returned to the USA in 1991, Nick joined the nascent Photofusion as Darkroom & Facilities Manager – responsible for the building and running of the darkrooms and studio in their new premises at Electric Lane in Brixton.

For nine years he ran the facilities at the Centre, whilst also teaching the darkroom courses and offering an advice service for Photofusion members. During this period he also continued to provide a professional printing service for a wide range of notable clients.

D.Wiafe's work with Creator's Studio and Young Curators reshape's how young photographers develop careers in the creative industries. He is also an artist, educator and the Course Leader of BA (Hons) Commercial Photography at The London College of Communication.

EDUCATION MANAGER

Prior to joining Photofusion in May 2024, Steff worked for over a decade in higher education as darkroom manager and in visiting lecturer roles teaching students across Foundation to PhD level. As Education Manager, Steff is responsible for developing Photofusion’s education offerings, managing the Lambeth Adult Learning course within the outreach programme and teaching across analogue photographic courses. Steff’s patient approach to teaching emphasises confidence-building and aims for learners to leave with the self-assurance that they can continue developing their photographic skills beyond the course.

Steff is an artist with her practice rooted in analogue expanded photography. Her work utilises the photographic medium's ability to reproduce, bringing to the fore the agency of light as a form of inscription and pattern making.
