Our Story

A photographic continuum on the seafront

42 White Rock has been a photographer's shop since 1910, when Marriott's first opened its doors. Today, it's run by Tariq Chaudry, a professional photographer since 1992 who started printing films at thirteen years old in a South London darkroom.

"My freelance photography is digital. Clients want speed of delivery. But my passion is film. Using analogue is a way of revisiting my youth." Tariq Chaudry, Hastings Independent Press
