Around the world, film photography and darkroom printing processes remain vital components of today’s photographic education.

Each year we see the results of this education through our annual student competition. We want to reward and help schools, colleges and universities that are committed to teaching the skill...

Bring me a soapbox! How it Started This started when I posted a photo on Instagram of a couple sharing a kiss at the ...

Portrayal Of Musicians I’m not sure which came first, my love of photography or my love of music. Growing up in the Boston area, I was fortunate to be immersed in both. Whether it be standing in awe at the beauty of Alfred Steiglitz’s work on display at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts or being immersed in the local music scene, spending time with the likes of Bonnie Raitt or Aerosmith, these two passions seemed to run in parallel for me. As time progressed my photography, and music connections led me...

Shooting everything on film, as opposed to di...
