For our first #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites of 2021, we asked you to take a look back over the last year and share your favourites shot on our black and white film using #bestof2020. I've been looking at these all week as they've come in and still struggled to pick just five today. Thank you to everybody who shared with us.
@JeremyCalow Looking back at my year on @ILFORDPhoto I’d have to say this was one of my favourite images taken way back in July of 2020! #fridayfavourites #ilfordphoto #bestof...
As many of us around the world are still under some type of lock down restrictions we chose this week's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites theme with that in mind and asked you to share images that you have #shotinside.

HARMAN is pleased to announce a dedicated* ULF campaign for our ILFORD ORTHO PLUS film in Spring 2021.
This represents a short but exciting window of opportunity to source non-stock sizes of a unique and wonderful film with a variety of applications.
ILFORD ORTHO PLUS is an extremely fine grain, sharp, orthochromatic film that is used in both technical and photographic applications. This including medical and scientific use, the copy of negatives and the creation of stunning images.
As a well-establi...
The idea came to me after searching for companies to have a photobook made. I wanted something of the highest quality. Something that had the physical feel of Photographs: Annie Leibovtiz 1970-1990, or Helmut Newton Portraits. Two beautifully printed books that happened to be sitting in the community darkroom I own. After searching the internet for hours and looking at reviews and products of various companies, I was no further along to making a selection than when I started. My mind wandered as I stared at...
In this blog article, Kit Young provides insight into his latest book, Where the Rain Clouds Gather (OD Books) , which was made entirely from scanning hand-made silver gelatin prints.
The Concept
At times the past year has raced past in a haze. Streets have emptied and we have retreated to our cocoons. Cooped up. Waiting for the storm raging outside to subside. The images in Where the Rain Clouds Gather, my second publication, appear as if from a dream state. Moments in time, brought to life in the dark...
A chance encounter
We started to make this work roughly ten years ago, after a chance encounter on a photo sharing platform. This led to a mutual appreciation of each other's work and we found that we both saw the potential of the landscape to resonate with inner experience and make it visible.
We were both using a camera called a Holga. An incredibly simple plastic medium format camera known for its low quality lens which produces a very dreamy aesthetic, frequently including lens flares and vignetting...
The first roll
It is January 31st, 2020. I’ve arrived in London to document the events surrounding the UK leaving the EU. Many groups were converging on Parliament Square for this historic day. My usual workflow was interrupted when fellow documentary photographer Simon King called me aside and handed me a Nikon FG, 55mm f/3.5, and a roll of Kentmere 400.
This was the first roll of film I’d exposed in my life. Unaccustomed to the mechanical redundancies and psychological immediacy that film offers, ...
Earlier this year in our interview with Walter Rothwell, he nominated Kris to take part in this series. We're so glad that he did. Enjoy!

Share your favourite image / print shot on ILFORD film and tell us what it means to you?
One of my recent favourite images is this portrait of 3 young men taken on the streets of Birmingham UK. It was one of the first outings in the city post-lockdown and I wanted to really get back into a stride with my personal photography on the streets. With ...
When an image that we share or re-gram gets a lot of interest, we like to get in touch with the photographer and find out a little more about the process that went into creating it.
