Simon Taylor is a photographer living and working in London. He is a graduate of the University of Plymouth, has been part of group exhibitions and has had a solo show in Bath in 2004. For Matchbox No.9 Simon has interpreted Scott Thurston's work and created 150 unique photos.

With each matchbox, the lucky purchaser will become the sole owner of an original negative to do with as they see fit: five second glance, off to Boots for a cheap print or blow the goddamn thing up big and pretty for your wall (info to the left). Choose wisely.

Below is an example of his work.

HOW TO DEVELOP YOUR UNIQUE SINGLE NEGATIVE

For pristine results you'll need a prolab, not a high street photo-shop. Acrom in London are cool. There will also definitely be a prolab in your area. It's easier to find one in The Yellow Pages than on Google. Give them a ring. Tell them that you want to develop from a single negative and they will be able to make a print for you.

Some prolabs say they can't print from a single negative. Don't believe them. An A3 image will cost you about £20. Below are Acrom's details who are very nice people.
