Section 1 - Background Share your favourite image / print shot on ILFORD film and tell us what it means to you? I took this image in January 2022.

I could tell when I got there that the sun was beginnin...

“I’ll just fix it in the darkroom.” is the motto I’ve lived by for decades. I Was Too Deep Into Analog Studying photojournalism in the late 80s, I was taught to print well but never learned advanced printing techniques because we were being prepared for quick turn-around journalism assignments.

I shot for a local paper for se...

Compositions bare the mark of their making. The edges of the frames are vanishing. Imperfections are left on view. As analogue photography is...
