Bromide print, estate stamp (verso), 24.5cm x 20cm, (31cm x 26cm framed), £1,250

Throughout his working life, Michael used the camera as an indispensable tool for recording information for his work. However, he also took numerous photos solely for pleasure. He also developed his own photographs. “I processed a film for the first time in 1967, passing it nervously from hand to hand through some developing fluid in a darkened room. Many of these early films were severely overdeveloped, but I soon discovered that dense black negatives subjected to long exposure, could result in prints as seductively grainy as Seurat drawings.” (Michael Leonard). Barry MacKenzie, pictured, was favourite model and appears in many of Michael’s works from the 1970s.
