Michael J. Ware (born 1939, Bromley) FRSC FRSC is a chemist and photographer, known for his work in alternative photographic processes, earlier methods of printing photographic images that were succeeded by the more common silver-gelatin used today. In the Present, Ware acts as a consultant, most recently on the history and development of the platinotype and palladium processes. His has also written about chemistry's influence on the history of photography. ^[1]

Early life and education

Ware was born in 1939 in Bromley. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Oxford in 1965. His thesis was The vibrational spectra of some inorganic complexes. ^[2]
