14 years is a long time for a photographic product. In that time, Richard and I have only needed to tweak our meters and timers to keep them up-to-date. They remain the top choice of discerning printers, in a decade which has seen the decimation of traditional photographic equipment and techniques. This site provides some insights into their design and use, as well as my other photographic ventures.

    RH Design’s products are practical tools; they eschew pointless specifications. They are a joy to use and they have helped hundreds of photographers around the world achieve printing excellence. Their designs have been shaped by our complete knowledge of photographic materials and our customer’s experiences over the years. These quality designs are made to last, many of which are upgradeable to include the latest features, or on occasion, a one-off modification for a specific customer.

    It’s December 2009 and the second edition of ‘Way Beyond Monochrome’ is ready for printing. Ralph Lambrecht and myself have done little else, than write, rewrite, research, illustrate, layout, spell check and debate the new and revised content. The result is a 560-page tour-de-force, which will stand out from the crowd.
