A medium for the moment  I always travel with my 35mm SLR and a stack of Ilford HP5 and Ilford FP4 film. I definitely prefer the look and process of shooting film when traveling and photographing on the street and I find my small SLR with it’s 50mm lens is small and inconspicuous enough to capture intimate street portraits. Shooting everything on the same 50mm lens and film medium gives my work a consistent look and feel. I have always found shooting film slows down my process, it forces me to think mor...

However, a unanimous winner has been chosen and the title of ‘ILFORD PHOTO UK Student Photographer of the Year 2017/18’ has b...

An experiment in chemical possibilities When I took up a camera after a few years’ hiatus in 1990, I was surprised to discover that I could no longer get a black & white film developed through the nearest camera shop, never mind through the local pharmacy.  If memory serves, I was told it would cost $40 for a single film. Naturally, I returned to processing my own film just I had done when I first took up a camera in the early 1970s. The world had moved on, and colour film was the default medium f...

Thank you In 2018, we invited the global analogue film photography community to take part in our latest film users survey. The survey, which attracted 2100 participants when it was last conducted in 2014, grew to over 6,800 participants from 100 countries this time around.  This was largely due to the help received from the fantastic film community in sharing it far and wide on social media, blogs and forums, so thank you. While many of the results are in line with the growth seen since the re-emergenc...

In late 2019, we invited the global analogue film photography community to take part in our latest survey. This time we focused specifically on darkroom printing.

As so many of us are in lockdown at the moment, (although I always take my camera with me on my daily walk / bike ride). We thought that #indoors was the perfect theme for this week's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites. It took you a couple of days to warm up, but then you rose to the challenge and shared a fantastic selection of images with us. Thank you. @CasperDJ01 Shot on ilford HP5, developed and printed on ILFORD Multigrade Pearl paper at home. #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites #indoors   ...
