Our Story
It began with a closet so full of cameras it sighed when we opened the door. Leicas flirted with Nikons, Rolleiflexes watched from the top shelf with quiet judgment, and one day we realized we weren’t collecting photography; it was collecting us. So we gave the obsession a name, a purpose, and Fox & Talbot was born.
We’re Alastair and Eric, incurable enthusiasts who believe a camera should feel like a promise in your hands: precise, elegant, and built to outlive us all. Every piece is chosen, tested, and tended with care. These aren’t museum relics; they’re instruments meant to be used, admired, and trusted. Each has character, some a playful quirk that will keep a skilled hand busy, but all are built to keep making pictures long after the batteries in your phone have died of boredom.
Fox & Talbot is for those who worship the poetry of photography: the satisfying click of a shutter, the cool heft of metal, the thrill of a dial that actually does what it promises. Whether adding to your collection or saying goodbye to a longtime companion, we understand the obsession, the madness, and the occasional gloriously indulgent decision.
